For someone like my close family who is taking blood thinners due to a heart attack and keeps on bleeding heavily from the nose every time he picks it by mistake. This is the third time he made it to the hospital.
While wearing them, they look nice (or funny, if they are a toy) but remind him instantly
of the doctor's instructions. When he takes them off (and forgets them on purpose) his fingers have become nice and soft, and no need for artificial fingernails until the next time he should be taking his pills.

On his next hospital visit, couldn’t they surgically remove his fingernails? And “offer” to trim them down to the knuckles - or even the wrists - if he didn’t stop sticking them up his nose? |

I was recently on blood thinners and kept my nails very short and filed smooth. Not that I pick my nose, just trying to avoid ANY scratching. |
|

Of course, I had to be really careful not to nick myself with the clippers. |

Can't you just put a finger over the hole and keep the red stuff in? |

How does it soften the nails? More to the point, how does it do it without risking the nails tearing when removing them? |

Yep, with a little pressure. It just takes longer to stop the flow. |

"You're soaking in it Madge!" |

You can get nail hardening stuff, so the opposite can't be too difficult. Now that I think about it, I had a bottle of shampoo a while back that seemed to soften my nails (hair & nails being of similar composition). |

Right, but if you soften the nails that would make them prone to tearing... which leads to in-grown nails. I'm not sure this is the best solution to nose picking. |

Again, a manicure down the wrist would work. To the elbow for really stubborn cases. |
