Most people who use a cotton bud, cloth, or fingers to extract the mucus verses that can be formed in your eye, known as fishing, need to realize that it is very harmful.

Dr. Anthony Youn previously warned people against the viral trend, urging them not to practice it.

I highly recommend not to try this, since the more mucosa you remove from your eyes, the more it resurfaces. This may cause irritability and discomfort, it is better to leave the mucosa and consult your doctor”, he said.
And until it is clear that this may irritate your eyes, a psychologist says that it affects your mental health.

The clinical director in Vyas Lee Pratice, Jordan Vyas-Lee, said the mucus fishing syndrome will likely bring about a disorder of repeat behavior focused on the body.

“habit disorders like syndrome “Mucus Fishing” have a recurring behavior at their core. This obviousness of behavior is a common characteristic of the OCD. But habit disorders are regulated mainly by brain parts dealing with automated behavior in a lack of thought or anxiety”, he said.
