The mucous then dries to the inside of the nose, anytime really, but more noticeably at night while we are sleeping. The result is hardened mucous, dead skin cells, shed cilia, germs, dirt and debris (stopped in their tracks mind you). The hardened mucous concoction is what makes up your
average, every-day booger.

Dr. Bischinger even goes so far as to say, “Eating the dry remains of what you pull out is a great way of strengthening the body’s immune system.”

With that now explained, scientifically speaking boogers do have an immune-system boosting effect as the doctor mentioned. Mucous alone contains an antiseptic and antibodies. Think of it as a souped-up Listerine for the lungs and digestive system. The germs contained in the booger are basically already dead or extremely weakened… much like the viruses and other various diseases contained in vaccines.

Once that is eaten, the body absorbs those agents and builds up even more antibodies to protect itself from these invisible invaders. “Medically it makes great sense and is a perfectly natural thing to do… When this mixture arrives in the intestines it works just like a medicine. Modern medicine is constantly trying to do the same thing through far more complicated methods,” Dr. Bischinger notes. “People who pick their nose and eat it get a natural boost to their immune system for free.”

It’s possible that children who eat their own nose gold, may in fact grow up to have stronger bodies due to their fighting immune systems. That could save us all quite a bit of money in terms of our own medical bills, those of our children’s and as far as taxes for other medical programs as well, but then again, this is only the speculation of a reformed booger-eater who very rarely ‘catches’ illnesses and who has never had an ear infection or the flu. Dr. Bischinger even recommends a new approach where children are encouraged to pick their nose. “It is a completely natural response and medically a good idea as well,” he adds.

So the next time you catch someone picking their nose, despite your personal opinions on the matter, just think to yourself that while this person may be socially inept in some ways, at least they have a top-notch immune system.
