3. Picking one's nose Compulsive nose-picking is known as rhinotillexomania (etymology: Greek, rhino "nose" + tillexis "habit of picking" + mania). Because the mucus membranes constantly produce mucus, and because the nostrils are exposed to air, sometimes the mucus dries and causes irritation and most people try to dislodge the itch. Although a very common habit, it is a mildly taboo subject in most cultures. Children's literature often makes reference to it, to amuse readers (for example Jacques Charpentreau's poem "De l'Education!" and Gordon Korman's Nose Pickers series).
