How do you get the dry boogers out if you don’t pick your nose?

I always get dry boogers and they’re impossible to remove when blowing into a tissue.

I wouldn't put toilet paper up my nose - I don't trust other toilet users to not touch the toilet roll and I don't trust the room to not have fecal particles from lidless flushing on things. I don't want tu put someone else's poo up my nose.

I know it's gross but is there a real health risk to inhaling fecal particles?

I think the risk is that possible micro abrasions would be exposed to fecal matter as opposed to inhalation

Well, perhaps it might be possible to catch some tummy bug from someone else, I don't know, but you inhale the fecal particles when you flush anyway I suppose.

The lid stays down all the time (well, in between use) at our house, with the idea that you minimise the amount of fecal particles floating around your room. I know it doesn't eliminate it, but I want to flush as much as possible of the poo and not inhale it, so I insist on the lid being closed.

I'm not claiming danger, I just don't like the thought.

Don't use TP up your nose for a different reason: TP is designed to disintegrate when wet. You end up with toilet paper chunks stuck up there.
