I used to babysit a toddler who was a master at rhinotillexomania. I mean boy, was he ever good.

Digging for gold?

LOL!

That's what my mom would always say!

Or, "be careful, you're finger might grow there".

I guess I knew from first hand experience that it could cause nosebleeds but I didn't know rhinotillexomania could cause respiratory infections.

As a child I must have had rhinotilleomania,, remember the teacher telling my mother.
"She picks her nose till it bleeds."

@Aunt Marg What are you "wowing" at as I'm always wondering why people do that?!

ROFLMAO!

It's not about the "wow" with me, instead, it's about face that wow displays! I just like it.

Rhinotillexomania....I just thought they were called 'nose miners'

 

[Pappy]

I remember in school, there was lots of Rhinotilleromania stuck under the desk...or was that gum?

Fortunately, later in life I switched form picking my nose to picking a guitar. It could be worse, you know.

I think Gary Larson, the Far Side cartoonist, could have great fun with this thread.

As a child in elementary school, I remember that Rhinotillexomania was a contagious condition.
