Eating Boogers

[seattleguy1]

I am 30 y/o and have been eating my Boogers for about 2 years now. Strangely enough, I have not been sick in those 2 years. A co-worker caught me eating  them one day in the bathroom and told me I was gross. I think he told others about what he saw me doing cause other people treat me different now.

My question is,
Should I stop eating my Boogers, or are they a health benefit for me. It is very addicting to eat your Boogers and I dont know if I could stop.
I have read others places on the internet that Boogers are a natural health benefit, because they introduce your body to bacteria.

BTW, I am not a pig. I am a good looking professional male.

Do any of you eat your Boogers?

Mate, most people wouldn't touch your question because even you know that the habit is socially unacceptable. If you are going to continue doing it, I'd suggest you do it in private because people are repulsed by it and of course they're going to treat you differently. Hey, when I saw a picture and story of Vince Vaughn in a magazine eating his boogers I never looked at him the same again!

Why would a 28 yr old man take up the habit in the first place? I'd change jobs and keep the habit under check!

Yeah others do it.  They are called little kids.

You will eventually stop. I've been eating my boogers since I was a child.. I used to do it alot, maybe 4 5 times an hr, now its like once a week maybe less.. Youll stop..If you really want to stop try eating something instead of your boogers... like mac and cheese,, they tase similar.. You just crave it.. it isn't a must..

Although it is socially unacceptable, I still do it, and recommend you do to... just where no one can see you... I've been "digging and eating" for about 5 years now, and since then I have yet to catch the flu or any other illness even though I live in flu central (Upstate New York). Picking your nose and eating it supposed to bolster you immune system with the dead and dying bacteria trapped in your boogers... If the rest of these losers are to close minded to consider all the possibilities surrounding this just because it's a feau pax  to partake in mucophagy (the act of eating your boogers) then they can just die of the up and coming super flu in 10 years for all I care, I'm gonna live to sea the year 2100... ;-D

i am a 16 y/o girl and i have picked my nose and eaten it all my life. my mom thought i stopped when i was 7 but i never did. sometimes i feel kinda gross for doing it but i really don't think i could ever stop. when i'm alone i am always picking, if not my nose than at scabs and the skin round my fingers (both of which i also eat). interestingly i always had the least days off from school being ill out of all my friends so maybe it is a health benifit!

I'm also 16 and I've been eating my boogers since I was a baby...i probably eat my boogers once an hour. At times i feel sick, like im a pig or something...but i can guarantee i'm not..if anything, ive modeled before. Eating boogers is a bad social habit, but its good for you. Almost everynight i go to bed with wet hair and practically wearing nothing, yet I've never caught a cold or fever ONCE!...i suggest you stop doing it in public, though it may be hard..but once youre at home, go ahead.

it has been a proven fact that eating ur boogers is good for u. trust me just google it. i am 19 and have been doing it in private my whole life as well

[Sandybeach112]

You all are gross!!   I'm sure this must be a joke!

[pinkydinkydoo89]

[Micool425]

I am the eating boogers master. I always eat my boogers at work in my cube. I haven’t been caught yet but if I do I will just sent a link in an email to everyone at work! Then they will read this post and crack up! Hahahahahahaha! I love my boogers like they are my babies... I can’t just through them away! that’s SICK! All you posters who think you are better than us booger eaters are really the same because you accidently get a big loogy in your mouth when you can’t spit and swallow it. It’s the same thing. It’s just a gate way to eating boogers! You too will be opening your buffet soon.



p.s. It is kinda sick when you get a REALLY BIG one.

I eat my boogers and I am 13 years old by I try to stop eating them but the Tasty  ones are the bloody green ones.

I have been eating my boogers for all my life, and I think it's the only thing I have never told anyone, so far, I've been able to pick it secret from everyone I know, including family and love ones... I do it for the flavor... and now that i think about it, it's a bit addictive, I certainly get sick often... so I don't think it had helped my immune system.

Hey, join the club! IT's absolutely NOTHING wrong eating them! I've been doing it the past 12 years~ Well, to be honest it does not guarantee 100% protection, but at most I'd catch a flu once every 12-18 months... Even if i'd catch a second flu, it would last only 2 days MAX... & it won't be severe.. then I can resume life like nothing happened!
If you are new to this, here's a way to get started..
By the breakfast table, pick out your morning fresh boogers, any sizes does not matter! Then put them into your cereal, be it high fibre, with nuts or grain or anything... just imagine the boogers as raisins... then pour in your milk and bon appetit~! You get a morning energy source plus added immune booster~  YUM YUM!
