My younger brother use to pick his nose so much that my cousin's boyfriend told him that a worm lives inside your nose and it's gonna bite your finger off if you pick your nose too far inside. I believed that for almost 5 years until he told me that it was just a lie so my little brother could stop picking his nose.
