Dear Auntie:

One of my clients has Down's syndrome, lots of family, and is constantly picking her nose. In fact, this is a high frequency behavior. What can be done?

Dear Nose Picker's Staff:

Does your client screw her finger into her nose, or does she stick it and pick it? This can be a habit, an infection, or both. A person can have a very stubborn bacterial infection in the nose. If she's screwing her nose, try triple antibiotic cream for a couple months. Yes, I said months.

Otherwise, have her wear white gloves!
