    Think of it as recycling.

      No that is not healthy. The only reason your nose makes boogers is to trap dirt and germs that should not enter the body. So that defeats the purpose of the booger it self.

  • Once it's out it shouldn't go back in.

    I see people doing it all the time out in public, so I think it's probably more common than people are willing to admit.

    There is nothing wrong with eating boogers, it is natural and healthy. Eating boogers even helps boost your immune system. "The body even naturally encourages the formation of a dense, salty coating to the boogers to make them more palatable. There is no other known reason for the high salt content in the mucus in the nose ... It has been speculated that the reason why humans have become so susceptible to viruses and bacterial infections in the last 500 years or so is indeed, because we have lost this beneficial, immune system strengthening behavior."

    Do they taste good at least? Can't blame you if they do.

    I used to do it when I was a little kid, but then I stopped doing when I was around ten. Sometimes, I lick the mucus that runs down my nose if I don't have a tissue, but otherwise, I really don't.
