Truth Tellers

Does your nose get itchy when you lie?

There’s a good chance your nose will get itchy if you’re stretching the truth. When a person fibs, it triggers an adrenaline rush. That causes capillaries to expand which tickles your nose. And unless you enjoy lying – you’ll probably start blinking more too. The normal blink rate is 6 to 8 times a minute – and under stress that goes way up. Some fibbers overcompensate by not blinking at all – and intensifying their stare.
