Is it normal to pick your nose and eat it?

I eat mine all the time. I love getting big crusty nose when I have a cold or something and a have a good dig around pulling out the snot and crows, having a look at it then putting into my mouth and playing around with it with my tongue until ready to eat.

I've heard that doing so can actually boost your immune system. They did a study on some adults, most of whom weren't too comfortable with the idea, and by the end of the experiment some said they actually kind of liked it.

You can pick your friends.
You can pick your nose.
But never try to pick your friend's nose.

I dont know if its normal. I know its disgusting but i do it

Well many people would say no, but I like to do it too.

I just love picking my nose, not eating it but smearing it out all over my body

Yes. I used to do it when I was little. It wasn't until I learned doing that in front of others is bad, so I rarely do it at all.

Just as long as you don't do it in public!

Mucophagy (booger eating) actually has some benefits. Boogers contain moderate amounts of pathogens, so when they are digested and absorbed in your stomach you build an immunity to them.

I never understood the urge to do this.

Disgusting disgusting DISGUSTING.

Gross..

Sadly, yes, this is normal.

I used to do it when i was idk.. 2-3 years old? That's not normal.

EWWWW! so nasty!

Nope. I remember being weirded out as a kid by people doing that. It hasn't got more normal during the intervening years.

i used to do it when i was a kid.. but seriously, imagine your grandma/pa picking your nose in front of you and eating it and being "hmm.. tastes better than morning's.."

pick your nose all you want, but in closed doors beacuse nobody wants to see you fingering any of your holes..

and please dont eat it because if it came out of your body it came out for a reason .. and that reason if that it is all the dust that you inhaled wrapped up in mucus.. so please grow up and love yourself..

That's gross, bud. I'm just anonymous block of text, but real people will actually have opinions on the subject.

Well, there's nothing technically wrong with doing it, It's normal for some and not for others. For me I would never fathom picking and eating my mucous. But, to each his own I suppose. Just don't do it in public.

It's a good idea to be sensible of unhealthy dust being eaten along with the booger.

I remember picking my nose as a child but I could never ever fathom eating it. That was beyond me and still is, I just don't get it as it's too gross lol.
