IS Often pick your nose may cause Alzheimers interesting to review Nose picking is a habit generally considered unpleasant, but not harmful. However, research from Griffith University in Queensland, Australia shows that picking your nose can cause illness.
This is demonstrated by research published in Nature Scientific Reports pick your nose it can allow bacteria to enter the brain via the olfactory nerve.
Once in the brain, some bacteria stimulate deposition potentially leading to the development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
Frequent nose picking can cause Alzheimer’s was tested on a mouse. In studies conducted on mice, the researchers found that Chlamydia pneumoniae use this pathway to access the central nervous system.
Nerve infections were exacerbated when damage occurred to the nasal epithelium, causing more beta-amyloid proteins to be released in the rat brain in response to infection.
This can form a plaque around the brain. This is thought to be responsible for many of the symptoms of AD. Such as memory loss, speech problems and unpredictable behavior.
Reported by Medicalnewstoday, the bacterium Chlamydia pneumoniae often occurs when you pick your nose. This is because one type of bacteria can infect humans and cause pneumonia. And it can pass from the picking process of the nose and reach the brain through the olfactory tract.
The olfactory nerve itself leads directly from the nasal cavity to the brain. Thus, bacteria that enter the olfactory nerve can cross the blood-brain barrier (SDO), which normally prevents them from reaching the brain and causing Alzheimer’s.
