Can attest, I eat my boogers I do not get sick often

Me thinks the nose has a way of killing most things and by ingesting the inaminate neutralized bugs I train my immune system

I sincerely believe this too and have been eating my boogers for my whole life. I too do not get sick very often

Y’all should try eating other’s boogers too, to have protections against wider types of bugs.

When I was at bootcamp a guy got caught eating his boogers and the drill instructor called him a “Filthy McNasty” and made him do push-ups.

Doesn't snot drain into the throat anyways? What would be the difference between eating it with your finger vs just sniffing it back and swallowing?

Marketed properly they could become the next truffle or even wild ginseng if you factor the health benefits. Soon booger-bae might be sneezing on your salad at some swanky restaurant
