Touching your face...

I do all the time...can't help it. Sometimes my eyes "water", particularly if a bit chilly or windy....I wear shades a lot when it's not bright outside due to this. Sneezing....tree pollen, yep...wipe nose.

Not to mention boogers :D

Me too... I'm a hazard to myself. For many reasons

This will quickly turn into a " how I touch myself " thread 😁. Don't ask for pics 😧

I've had a stye in my left eye for 3 weeks, unpossible not to touch my face. Add oak pollen, which gives me fits, and I might as well bury my face in my hands and move my fingers to peek out to see what is going on.

Same here. Not touching your face is a fairly difficult task. Plus, boogers.:D

As the comedian Gallagher once pointed out God in his infinite wisdom gave us a tool set on our hands.

Pinky fits the ear hole
Index fits the nose hole
Ring finger for the wedding
Middle for the divorce

Seriously, I think touching ones face is seems involuntary often. Our response to it is voluntary. If you get an itch what do you do? Respond to it. Facial hair is affected by air movement and humidity. A hair can go from straight to a curl with humidity. We feel it and respond to it. A muscle twitch,an eyelid flutter. Perspiration effects feeling in the facial skin. Our body responds.

On the humorous side........

The simple thing to do, keep a beer or glass of wine in each hand all the time! ;)

Excellent! Problem solved.

T-rex couldn't touch his face and look how that turned out.

Haha. You mofo! Funny as hell.

With all the stupid crap I’ve done in my life, if I die because I touched my face I’m going to be PISSED

I didn’t realize how often I touch my face until this whole thing came about. My nose itches a lot more than I realized.

lol!

Um...so it's ok to touch someone else face?

Strangely my eyes have improved. Not red sore and tired. I used to sit there in the evenings watching TV rubbing my eyes because there were sore. But now that it's no longer fashionable to rub your eyes they have some right. All my life, I think, I've had itchy eyes. Umm. it does rather make sense after the event.

I don't find it difficult to not touch my face but I'm pretty much wipey in hand wherever I go. I had an itch earlier and just toughed it out. They come and they go. What do you do when you're in the dentist's chair, stop them so you can fokking scratch?

Would recommend a dog E collar.

Actually, yes.

Just don't do what this guy did.

An Australian astrophysicist who hoped to create a device to help stop people catching the coronavirus has ended up in hospital - after getting magnets stuck up his nose.

Dr Daniel Reardon came up with a plan to create a necklace which would react if your hands were near your face.

Unfortunately, the device did not work quite as planned.

"My invention had the opposite effect – it buzzed continuously until a magnet was put close."
'I knew I was in trouble'

"I had a laugh and gave up temporarily," he told the BBC. "Then I started mindlessly placing the magnets on my face. First my ear lobes, then my nostrils – like a magnetic piercing.

"The problem was when I put magnets in my other nostril. They all pinched together, and the ones on my septum got stuck!"

The university research fellow remained calm, however.

"At first it hurt, but I wasn’t too stressed," he said. "I started to get more and more stressed when I realised it wasn’t going to be trivial to remove them.

"Then, after using my last two magnets in a futile attempt to remove the magnets, and getting those stuck too, I knew I was in trouble."

But he was still determined to get out of the sticky situation by himself: he turned to pliers, but that came with its own challenges.
The power of attraction

"The pliers kept getting attracted to my nose, and the force of my nose being pulled was also painful."

It was at this point he realised he would have to make a trip to his local hospital in Melbourne - the same hospital his partner works at.

"They thought it was great, particularly the doctors that know my partner," he said. "They came past to have a laugh and ask 'why were you putting magnets in your nose?!'"

Luckily for him, the doctors were able to finally free the magnets, and he left hospital relatively unscathed.

As for his device - well, that has been put on the back-burner for now. "I think I’ll give up and let someone more qualified give it a go," he laughed.

I sure hope this guy doesn't try to come up with an invention to stop people scratching their ass.

I’ve got some kind of mild skin condition on my scalp, ears and face. Can’t really see it, but it itches bad sometimes. So, if I get CV, it’s going to be from touching my face. :(
