Wasn't there an article recently that Alzheimer's increased in lab mice after swabbing their nose or something like that? I remember the headline suggesting that viral infections after picking your nose is the cause of the disease.

It's about introducing more microorganisms to your nose and also damaging the tissue when you pick up your nose, but I'm not sure about the strength of evidence.
