And do you eat em too?🤔
Yes 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.

I 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.
I 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
No and no🤣
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🤣)

sometimes if they are really baked to the inside of my nose. Sometimes I need to use a screwdriver to get the bat out of the cave.
I’ve got three nose piercings. Chances are if my fingers up my nose I’m fucking with my piercings 😬
Nope. And for good reason. Riding along. Get an itchy nose. Scratching isn’t going to happen!
No.. 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.
I 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.
Wow! 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.
I'm not a nose picker, if I was, I would have picked a better nose than what I have
Only when I Bake cookies to Give to people I don’t like. Just imagine the Power I feel When someone eats a booger cookie and they tell me how good I am at Making Cookies.
I do it when they just won't leave when I blow my nose.
In some sense I do eat snot when I have a cold and snort the snot, if I'm even expressing myself properly.
Picking your nose is substantially more efficient than blowing
No lol. When I was little I use to eat them tho 😅
lolz I don't want to imagine anybody actually does.
Gotta get the crusties out some how. No I don't eat it
Yeap sometimes, no I don't eat it, that's disgusting

*won't even open this question* lmao...
Yes I am a nose picker but I usually flick it off my finger.
Yes. But I only pick when I'm alone. Eat? No.
If it doesn't come out when I blow my nose I will pick it out but I won't eat it. That's gross
What's the point of mining nose gold if I can't share it with the towns people?
