Generally, picking one's nose is considered unhygienic and bad behavior. However, almost every person has picked their nose at least once. Unusually, the dry mucous forms a plug, otherwise known as a "booger", which makes it harder to breathe well. So a finger/fingernail seems easier than blowing one's nose. But nose picking can break blood vessels and cause nose bleeds. Also snot, which makes boogers, contains dust and bacteria so if it is eaten it could make you ill.
