Does anyone else find that rubbing their nose produces a sweaty stink?

I have a habit of taking my index finger and rubbing it briskly across my nostrils.

The action tends to relieve minor itches and encourages air flow but at the same time tends to encourage an eruption of sweaty stinkiness within the nostrils.

Peculiarly, the smell is not from my finger or from anything outside, but eminates from within the nostrils themselves.

Admittedly, I rather like the smell and often find myself rubbing my nose to elicit a good stink when waiting for the bus, passing time at work or enduring boring conversations.

Does anyone experience the same problem or know of a solution? Is this normal?

    That happens to me too! But only if I'm doing it for a really long time. I told my mom about it and she looked at me funny.
