Does Doc Adams have the worst hygene habits on TV? He picks his ear and nose like no one!

I thought of the same thing. Doc had face fetish, always pulling wax from his ears or wiping his mouth. I think they did that on purpose to show how nasty frontier doctors were.

Doc is always rubbing/picking his ear because he never cleans them. He rubs/picks his nose because he has boogers he's trying to remove.
