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.

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.
