Do you ever just want to pick a nose?

New research says it may be good for you.

LOL, where do you find this stuff Kenny?

I don''t know about EATING boogers, but sometimes if you feel something right on the edge you''ve got to take care of it. No one wants to walk around with crusties on their nose and sometimes a finger works better than a tissue, but you''ve got to do it with finesse. You can''t just shove your whole finger up there to the second knuckle.

It kind of makes sense.
Boggers collect bacteria.
Ingesting bacteria challenges the immune system.
The more of a work out the immune system gets the stronger it gets.

That's why kids from homes that are super clean because disinfectants are used everywhere are more likely to grow up with health problems like asthma.

Kids raised on farms turn out the healthiest.

The things you learn on PS...

Kenny, you''ve already got me gargling with 3% HP for my pearly whites...not sure I have the time to start dining off my nose hairs, too

Well if that's too gross I guess you could just go outside and lick the street.

Wait, that may be less socially acceptable.

Logically it makes total sense. Unfortunately I''ve been conditioned to heave every time I think about the act.

HEY!

You went back and edited your post, Kenny! Oh well, mine stands. I saw what you wrote

Well, if you're willing to volunteer as our test subject, I would be happy to front an honorarium for a tube of Crest or Colgate.

The rest of the control data (boogies) will be up to you to provide.

Keep us apprised of your findings

oh good grief

Sometimes you just have to pick at one that won''t come loose otherwise, but I would never eat it. Just the thought makes my gag reflex go nuts.

 

[kenny]

Sorry, Vancity.
Brushing teeth with boogers was too gross to leave up, even for me.

If you're gonna pick it, you gotta flick it.

Kenny, do you just stumble upon stuff like this, or do you sit in front of a computer and think to yourself, "Hmm, wonder what''ll pop up if I google booger eating?" No judgment--I''m a weird googler myself.

Actually, I host trivia night at a local bar--might have to work this into a question for monday!

 

[kenny]

No. I visit a few fora with folks who have an eye for weird and quirky stuff.

I steal it from there and bring it here.
I also steal from here and bring stuff there.

Hey, at least I''m honest.

 

[PumpkinPie]

it does logically make sense -and I watched my 2 year old niece do this the other day.. at least she will be healthy!

 

[radiantquest]

I will not eat, but I will pick if needed. Sometimes they are pointy and will poke you.

Just to make you feel a little better about it Kenny I have also questioned the nose picking. I believe that noses were meant to be picked because your finger fits there perfectly. I spent a couple weeks asking people about it. I would ask people with especially small nostrils if their pointer finger fit in there and yup they could. I also asked men with large fingers if their fingers could fit and sure enough they could.

Divine design. If we were not supposed to put our fingers in our nose they wouldnt fit so well.

.....unless trying to ward off unwanted advances from creepy guys. Then, I say, go for the gollldd.

LOL. This is great. And yes, I pick my nose when necessary. No shame in that at all.

One of the best things about being a parent is picking their noses. Yes I said that.
