The reason why children like to eat booger.
Many children have the habit of digging out boogers to eat, and this is by no means a pioneering work after 10, because we have experienced such a thing. Why do children like to eat booger?
Experts say that children like to eat booger, which is pica, which is common in iron deficiency anemia caused by various reasons, such as intestinal parasites. If necessary, take the child to the hospital to check stool routine and blood routine, eliminate intestinal parasites and iron deficiency anemia, and make a clear diagnosis.
In Britain, 44% of adults still eat booger. German men's soccer coach Loew has a soft spot for boogers. He used to eat booger in many public places. Don't you think he's still alive?
Not only does Loew eat booger, but Italian Berlusconi is also a booger lover. He even took time to eat a few pieces of booger when interviewed by reporters.
It can be seen that children eating booger will not have any adverse effects on their health. It's just that this habit is unacceptable
An Austrian doctor said that eating boogers can improve immunity and suggested that parents encourage their children to pick up more boogers and eat more boogers. So can eating booger really improve immunity? Let's have a look.
Children who eat booger can improve their immunity.
Bischer proposed that the nasal cavity has a filtering function in the immune system. Air enters the lungs through the nasal cavity, and a large number of bacteria remain in the nose excrement. If you eat these nosebleeds with many kinds of bacteria and let them be absorbed by the small intestine, it acts like medicine and can enhance human immunity.
He found that people who pick their noses more often are healthier and more cheerful than the average person. Picking your nose in public is considered impolite and annoying, but Beecher says picking your nose is a natural reaction of human beings. Children can pick their noses happily, but when they grow up, people are afraid to pick their noses in public because of social regulations and fear of being pointed at.
For children's health, parents should encourage them to pick their noses more. If adults are worried about being teased, they can also enjoy digging and eating booger in private or hiding in the corner.
Coincidentally, Naber, an associate professor of biochemistry at the University of Saskatchewan in Canada, also put forward this view. He said that snot can trap bacteria and prevent them from entering the lungs. However, if we eat booger and expose our bodies to those bacteria, it may actually help to enhance our immunity. This method can train people's immune system and know what they may be exposed to, so it is almost a natural vaccination.
The consequences of often digging nose excrement
Experts say that the nose hair in the nostrils is the first barrier of the respiratory tract and has a filtering effect on the inhaled air. If you often dig your nose by hand, it will lead to the loss of nose hair. The unclean air outside will directly stimulate the nasal mucosa, and the nose is more prone to itching symptoms, especially people with allergic constitution will aggravate allergic rhinitis.
Nose skin is often subjected to mechanical friction, which is easy to damage epithelium. In addition, the stimulation of secretions will lead to nasal vestibule inflammation, dry and painful nostril skin, redness and boils. The nasal septum is rich in blood vessels and is a potential bleeding area, and minor trauma can cause epistaxis.
What's more, human nasal vein and intracranial vein are connected, and there is no valve in the middle, that is, there is no barrier in the middle. When picking your nose, bacteria in your hand enter the nasal cavity, which is easy to cause nasal infection, such as nasal vestibulitis, nasal furuncle, cellulitis and so on. Pathogens of nasal infection can enter the skull through veins, causing fatal intracranial infection and life-threatening.
Solutions to children's nasal congestion
1, a small amount of cold boiled water or some anti-inflammatory nasal drops or eye drops can be dripped into the nostrils. When it softens, gently turn it in the child's nostrils with a cotton swab. After a while, the child will sneeze and his nose will come out by itself.
2, you can gently pinch the outside of the baby's nostrils, nose mucus may fall off, or induce the baby to sneeze to remove it.
3. Cover the small nose with a warm wet towel to soften it, then roll it into a thin stick with a napkin and turn it around in the small nostril so that the nose can face outwards.
4, you can use a cotton swab to dip some sesame oil and gently turn it in your child's nostrils. After a while, the child sneezes and his nose will come out on its own.
5. Conditional families can use ultrasonic atomization equipment or similar equipment that can generate water vapor, so that the water vapor can be aimed at the baby's nostrils, which can also play a role in softening the nose.
