Is it nasty to dig up your nose and not wash hands?

It can be considered ill-mannered and unhygienic to pick one's nose and then not wash their hands. There are several reasons why it can be seen as nasty:

1. Spreading bacteria: When you pick your nose, you transfer bacteria from your nose to your fingers and nails. If you then touch other objects or surfaces, you can spread these bacteria to those objects. This can lead to the spread of illnesses such as the common cold or the flu.

2. Bad odor: The discharge from your nose can contain bacteria that produce an unpleasant odor. When you pick your nose and then touch other objects or surfaces, you can transfer this odor to those objects.

3. Social stigma: In many cultures, picking one's nose is considered to be rude and unhygienic. This can make it uncomfortable for others to be around you if you are picking your nose.

If you need to pick your nose, it is important to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water afterwards. This will help to prevent the spread of bacteria and germs.
