The main purpose of mucus is to keep the body lubricated and to prevent tiny particles from entering. Stomach mucus exists to protect the lining of the stomach from the acid which it produces.

What are the benefits of booger?

Boogers don't really have any benefits. Boogers are the results of the benefits of snot (mucus) in your nose. Dust particles get trapped in the moist mucus, dry and become boogers. Boogers are then expelled via 'blowing your nose' and the dirt particles are removed, never reaching your lower respiratory system (lungs). Without mucus (and boogers) you would have more dirt (and other particulates) in your lungs and be at higher risk of infection and other diseases.
