This large, clear, plastic cone is joined and locked on the neck, covering the head of the offending child or spouse. Its size and stiffness effectively prevents the hands touching the face. Comes with two keys.

       Woof.

       The self-conscious may want to strap on the smaller nose-cone.

       What if you become addicted to the cone?

       You could make it unobtrusive by using electronics, either with an ultrasonic system that warns when the hand is 'too close' to the nose, or a resistance measuring system (possibly incorporating an aversive shock). Could have cleaned up with this one in Victorian England.. Seriously, some forms of influenza have recently been shown to be transmitted by touching doorknobs etc & then the mouth or nose, the subjects involved doing so quite unconsciously.

       So it'll keep you from licking your own crotch, then...

       I knew there was a reason for my lower ribs being removed...

       A simpler solution would be to consistently coat your fingernails with Tabasco(r) sauce.

       The inside of your nose is (as all cocaine users know) a delicate membrane that takes up chemicals very efficiently. I'm presently in the throes of giving up nail-biting, and I can attest that the yukky tasting stuff I have been painting on my nails is also quite astringent when it comes into contact with the inner part of one's nostril. So, problem already half-solved.

       I know people who'd need two - one round the neck and one round the waist.

       Several scenarios that flaw your plan: [1] Sleeping [2] Vain people who constantly do their hair [3] Itchy nose [4] Meal times

       If god didn't intend us to pick our noses, then why does it fit?
—tomarse, Jul 07 2004
   

       I wouldn't like to have a sneezing fit in one of those.

       Had bad habits been completely eradicated I would have never had a second date.

       Worst [FJ] idea ever? This is so stupid!
