Question: I think this question is more of a mental one as I have told my friend So my friend picks her nose and always puts the content in her mouth She said she been doing it as a child and hasnt been able to stop I think she enjoys putting filth in her mouth which I think is a mental case Kindly advise on what she needs to do to stop
Answer: Good morning
Some people pick up some things from childhood and find it difficult to drop them such as biting nails or the case you mentioned
For your friend the first question is that is she willing to stop
If yes then you can check the triggers Does she do it when shes stressed happy or distracted
Once the triggers are identified then she can work towards doing other things to occupy her time during those moments She could use an alternative like using a handkerchief to clean her nose if she feels like poking it that way shes not likely to put the handky into her mouth thereafter
Also a strong support system will be useful So please dont condemn her when you catch her doing it You can just remind her to do it right and with time shes likely to overcome the habit 
I hope this helps

Answer: Majority of people that pick there nose or use teeth to cut there nail do this most time when they are stressed and it is a form of coping mechanism They can avoid this by preventing unnecessary mental stress and also have better time to relax Pay more attention to prevent it 
If it is something you can do away with by yourself i will advice you to see a psychiatrist doctor in your hospital
