Peta näsan.

[Slartibartfast]

Peta näsan är en av mina favoritsysselsättningar, men jag är lite orolig att det vanställer min näsa på sikt. Kan Grub eller nån annan länka till en artikel som säger hur det ligger till med den saken?

Jag vet att det finns nåt som heter Rhinotillexomani, men det är inte det jag har. Jag petar bara för att det är kul.

Klockren!


On Topic : Jag tycker min näsa känns lite större precis efter att jag petat den också, men det kanske bara är placebo

"There is one danger from nose-picking, and that is that you will break the skin somehow and give root to an infection, which could subsequently migrate inward--i.e., into the base of the brain. Blood from the nose (to be precise, from a triangular region of the face centered on the nose) drains to the rear of the head, where it joins various other veins, including the ones that drain blood out of your brain. If a nasal infection were to travel downstream and block this junction point, a condition known as intracranial thrombophlebitis, you'd have big problems. Not only would blood circulation be impaired, but any sort of surgical treatment might well result in disfigurement."

Cecil Adams, Chicago Reader

Resultat från frågeformulär publicerade i J Clin Psychiatry. 1995 Feb;56(2):56-9. Rhinotillexomania: psychiatric disorder or habit?:

* 8.7% claim that they have never picked their nose.
* 91% stated that they had picked their nose in the past and were still actively practicing this habit. Yet, only 49.2% of the respondents actually thought that nose-picking was common in adults.
* 9.2% rate their pickin' as "more than average."
* 25.6% actually pick their noses daily, 22.3% do it 2 to 5 times each day, and three people admitted to doing it at least hourly.
* 55.5% spent 1-5 minutes, 23.5% spent 5-15 minutes, and 0.8% (2 people) spent 15-30 minutes each day cleaning their nostrils. One lone soul claims to devote over 2 hours each day to this ritual (I'm not a doctor and I can tell you that this guy definitely has rhinotillexomania).
* 18% reported nosebleeds, while 0.8% claimed perforation of the nasal septum from their nose-picking.
* 82.8% had picked their noses to "unclog the nasal passages", 66.4% had done it to relieve discomfort or itchiness, 35.7% to avoid the unsightly appearance of a booger hanging from their nose, 34.0% for personal hygiene, and 17.2% picked out of habit. 2.1% (five people) claimed to pick solely for enjoyment. To no one's surprise, one perverted person picked his/her nose for "sexual stimulation."
* 65.1% use their index finger, 20.2% use their pinky, and 16.4% use their thumb (must have BIG nostrils to fit a thumb in) as their instrument of choice.
* Most people (90.3%) disposed of the goop in a tissue or a handkerchief, while 28.6% used the floor, and 7.6% stuck it to the furniture.
* 8% of the respondents actually ate the end product. In case you are thinking of trying this delicacy, the study claims that the pickings are quite tasty (salty).

"Self-injurious picking is a severe and chronic psychiatric and dermatologic problem associated with high rates of psychiatric comorbidity. It may be conceptualized as a variant of OCD or impulse-control disorder with self-injurious features and may, in some cases, represent an attempt to regulate intense emotions."

J Clin Psychiatry. 1999 Jul;60(7):454-9.

"We reported a case of an individual who have developed the self-destructive habit of pulling and severely scraping hairs and debris out of the mucous membrane of his nasal cavities. We have proposed the term rhinotrichotillomania to emphasize the phenomenological overlapping between trichotillomania (TTM) and rhinotillexomania (RTM) exhibited by this case. The main motivation behind the patient's actions was a distressing preoccupation with an imaginary defect in his appearance, which constitutes the core characteristic of BDD. The patient was successfully treated with imipramine. CONCLUSION: The case suggests that certain features of TTM, RTM, and BDD may overlap and produce serious clinical consequences. Patients with this condition may benefit from a trial of tricyclics when other effective medications, such as serotonin reuptake inhibitors, are not available for use."

Hjälp, jag har säkert det.

Är lätt fixerad vid att ha näsan fri från snor, petar, snyter och sköljer för fulla muggar under vinterhalvåret. Därtill har jag en utomordentlig badrumsspegel som gör det möjligt att se in i näsan och upptäcka eventuellt snor.

Tror det hela beror på att jag i yngre dagar blödde väldigt mycket näsblod.
Min fixering har nog dock haft mest negativ effekt på blödproblemet, haha.

Jag har skitlätt att börja blöda näsblod. Kan börja av att jag snyter mig. Eller helt utan anledning.
