1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: And Amanda gem Nation. You're in the traffic, chances are

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: you're looking at the car next to you and someone's

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: picking their eyes. Still happens. We get those on the

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: Goolely hotline all the time. You have to clean it constantly.

5
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: Well what about this, here's yet another reason to not

6
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 1: pick your nose. Well, one, we know it's waste products,

7
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: so don't I mean, there are tissues and handkerchiefs to

8
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: get rid of them. But a new study has found

9
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: that nose picking is related to a high risk of COVID.

10
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: I'm fascinated by how they did this study because they

11
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: have done research into healthcare workers who are at a

12
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: higher risk of contracting COVID. But now new research has

13
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: found that healthcare workers who pick their nose are more

14
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: likely to contract the virus that causes COVID. According to

15
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 1: the study of two hundred and nineteen health care workers

16
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: in the Netherlands, the questions you got asked, seventeen percent

17
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: of those who picked their nose caught COVID, whereas less

18
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: than six percent of those who refrain from nose picking

19
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: got COVID. Would you pick the box? Pick the box?

20
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: Tick the box that says, do you pick your who

21
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: would own up to that. So while nose picking showed

22
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: a marked increase in COVID infections, no association was observed

23
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: between nail biting, wearing glasses, or having a beard, all

24
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: the things that I have, so apparently none of that

25
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 1: leads to COVID. I mentioned a bum picking, but don't

26
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: pick your nose. A person who touches an infected surface

27
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 1: and then picks their nose may become ill with COVID.

28
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: So this is the final bit of information on this

29
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: press release. To avoid COVID, the CDC recommends regular hand washing,

30
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: keeping up to date with your vaccine, your boosters, and

31
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: don't pick your nose despite what they say about everyone's

32
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: doing it well, don't chew it.
