"Picking your nose and eating it is one of the best ways to stay healthy, according to a top Austrian doctor."

"Everybody's doing it doing it..
picking their nose and chewing it..
they think it's funny...
it's snot.  "

Whilst grim (at least from my socially conditioned POV), I can't fault his logic regarding the immune system. The modern "oversterilized" world is now being regarded as a source of immune system weakness by various people...

Interesting how squeamish people can be about some things.
Snot is basically throwing itself down the back of your throat all the time. Since you never have to see it, it's OK, I guess.

Eating eggs is fine though, even though an egg is just a shell around snot from a chickens butt. Yum! Chicken Butt Snot.

So what makes some mucus OK, and some mucus not?

And what about if people don't produce enough snot of their own? Is there a potential market for supplements? I've got two kids. Perhaps I should start bottling.

Why the dried remains? What about the still fresh, altogether more slippery membranous and stretchy variety?

Yum :lol:
