And do you eat em too?🤔
+1 yYes I pick and eat my Snot Booger. Yummy. 💞 I love it when my nose run's 💞
A runny nose is mucus being discharged out of the nose. 💞
Pick your nose and eat it! Study shows snot is good for you
BEIJING -- Picking one's nose is widely considered to be a bad habit and frowned upon. Not to mention eating snot!But nose-picking is pretty common, particularly among children -- we either grow out of the habit by adulthood or do it privately.
However, a recent study shows that those little boogers can benefit human bodies in many ways.
The study was published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, a government-funded national resource for molecular biology information in the United States.
A direct connection has been found between eating snot and better teeth because boogers are made of mucus, known as salivary mucin, which prevents bacteria from clasping onto your teeth together.
As a result, researchers who conducted the research are now looking into ways to create synthetic mucus that can be made into chewing gum or toothpaste.
Yummy! The fictional Bertie Bott's booger-flavored beans in the Harry Potter film series may soon become a reality.
Not only can eating your snot guarantee you better teeth, but it can also enable you to live a happier and healthier life.
"People who like to dig up there are better in tune with their bodies," said Austrian lung specialist Friedrich Bischinger, suggesting that society should get rid of the social stigma surrounding picking one's nose and encourage children to do so more often.
"Eating the dry remains of what you pull out is a great way of strengthening the body's immune system. Medically it makes great sense and is a perfectly natural thing to do," Bischinger said.
"In terms of the immune system, the nose is a filter in which a great deal of bacteria are collected, and when this mixture arrives in the intestines it works just like a medicine," he said.

+1 yI am a nose picker. I have a special picking tool. People get leery when I try to pick theirs too. I don't eat them. Don't even collect them.

+1 yI might have to in case blowing or cleaning my nose with a tissue isn't enough to get that pesky booger out.
No, I've never ever eaten or tasted anything that's ever come out of my nose. But, "never say never!" ;)
I won't deny rolling up a booger with my fingers and flicking 'em elsewhere. :D

I give my boogies an eviction notice onto a tissue or on the ground (outdoor exercise).
No comment on my boys (or the hubby for that matter-his cycling jerseys and shorts disgust me🤣)

That thing snaps right back down once you hit 40-45 mph. Then it’s fighting it and scrunching your face, riding with one hand.. one eye.. yup. Just learn to breath through it.
+1 yNo.. I found this really convenient nose salon in our town who clean it for you once a day. They do not let it go waste eirher. Local Target buys it from them to use it as ingredient in their low sugar orange marmalade.

They told me if its really dry, they use it in the peanut butter for rhe crunch.
+1 yI sometimes pick my honker, occasionally, but I don’t directly eat my muckus. It has dried blood, which is not kosher or halāl. Besides, eating muckus gets the same effect as sniffing and then swallowing. People ‘eat’ their own muckus every day by doing so.
10 ReplyWow! The anger?… geese! I will admit that I have both at times but I do also think it is so gross so I try very hard to cut the habit.

😂😂😂 it’s a bad habit I got from an old landlord… sorry! Haha! I didn’t at all mean to be offensive or to suggest I was in anyway… 🤦♂️🙃 he had a government job working on a naval ship yard and got so tired of the sexist games that woman would poll at his work that he just started calling everything racist. He was sorely out spoken.
I'm not a nose picker, if I was, I would have picked a better nose than what I have
