Nobody would ever imagine boogers are so complicated, but this is a basic explanation of how and why boogers are created. As you may know, our body produces mucus, also known as snot, which protects our lungs. We breathe in millions of germs, dust, dirt, and bad things that aren't meant to go in our lungs. Mucus traps these bad contaminants and moves it out of the body through the nose. A booger is simply dried up mucus and is normal. Now to answer your question, a big booger can be from not blowing your nose for a long time, or being in an environment that has a lot of dust or allergens in the air. But it's simple to get rid of them, just blow your nose.

The mucus and debris that's normally washed away by tears when you blink starts to collect in the corners of your eyes. This causes you to wake up with eye boogers.
Bacteria. Really small.
There is no word for the fear of boogers
Everyone has boogers.
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.
anything that has a nasal cavity will have boogers
Yes, horses do have boogers but there boogers is way up in the top of there nose where it first starts and there boogers is very larger than a humans so yes they do.
Our Cavie gets eye boogers in the morning. We use Earth Bath dog shampoo, which is organic, and she doesn't get the big eye stains she use to get. I highly recommend that.
I don't believe anyone sells boogers.

Commonly called 'sleep', however, lacrimal fluid would be a better and more scientific description. Some people also call them sleepies, sleepheads, and eye boogers(maxgreat calls them eye boogers).
