<human>: My (late 20s F) coworker sits directly in front of me (mid 20s F) and she has some rather troubling habits that I'm not sure how to address.

* coughs without covering her mouth
* picks her nose upwards of 50 times a day (really digs in there, examines it and brushes her hands off, and then touches communal things)
* peels fruit by chomping off the peel and spitting it into her hand
* kicks her filing cabinet under my desk and into my feet

She's foreign (from east Asia, but has lived in the US for several years now), but I'm not sure I can chalk it up to cultural differences. She has a bit of a heavy accent and I don't know how to broach the subject.

I've recently come down with a cold that she had, probably in part to her problematic habits.

I feel kind of weird bringing it up to my boss. I've tried staring at her while she does it, but she never notices me. I've tried telling a story to the whole office about a guy who was picking his nose and eating it across from me on public transit, but she was tuning us out, as she tends to do since English isn't her first language.

Help, Reddit.

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: My foreign coworker picks her nose and has bad hygiene. Gets us sick. Don't know how to get her to stop.
