Picking them out can cause a nosebleed, and many people would find the habit disgusting. But there's no real risk to it. infact; the only thing about picking your nose and eating it that is dangerous is not finding germs there and introducing them to your body when you eat it but is introducing to germs to it from your hands. this means that eating your bogies is only bad for you if you don't wash your hands first. some scientists have gone as far as to say that it is good for you, it keeps your nose far cleaner than a handkerchief does and eating whats been up there strengthens your immune system. i must however issue a health warning, eating your own bogies is fine and could even be encouraged but eating others bogies will always be frowned upon and you could end up with a smack.

How many boogers does the human body have?
There is no amount of boogers in the human body. Boogers are formed when you swallow your saliva. Most of it goes down your throat, but a small amount stays in the back and slowly travels upward into your nasal cavity. There, it collects any germs and dirt in the upper part of your throat and nasal cavity and turns into boogers. and remember: NEVER pick your nose! :) ~Karen~

Do you really get worms in your stomach when you eat boogers?
BOOGERS ARE NOT GOOD FOR YOU Snot, or boogers in your nose, are made up of dirt/bacteria and particles in the air that are mixed with mucous to form a hardened substance, which we refer to as boogers. These particles get caught in your nose hairs so that your body doesn't take in anything potentially harmful. It is a little counterproductive to take the boogers out of your nose, that your body worked hard to prevent inhaling, and place them in your mouth for your body to ingest. But Most viruses die when they hit the air so the probability you get a virus from eating a booger is highly unlikely. You actually can get worms from the dirt/boogers we eat and the dust we breathe in. (Eating dirt is a sign of iron deficiency. ) never eat you boogers
