There is research suggesting nose picking is related to Alzheimer's. Instead of just happening, microbes enter the nose in people who preform high maintenance on the nasal passage. Constantly removing the hair and mucus lets the invaders in. I find this very interesting because there is another body of research that suggest internal parasites make a person more attractive increasing reproductive success. In this sense, constant nose hair trimming could be an infection vector.

My doctor said I wouldn't get so many nose bleeds if I kept my finger out of there.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8958965/

I don't particularly care for these kinds of papers due to the small sample sizes. However, I find the results compelling because there is the underlying concept of symbiosis that is observed everywhere in the natural world. After studying parasitology to a tiny degree, I'm convinced it is within their evolution to be able "control" our minds and bodies to some degree. A good example of this is a parasitoid wasp. While wasps and humans are quite different, the overlap is highly plausible.

So the hypothesis is nose hair trimming may not just be a consequence of annoyance or sexual selection. It could be the result of quasi mind control by a microscopic pathogen. After learning about this, I try pretty hard not to pick my nose etc.
