that is crazy! but, my parents owned a pig farm when I was growing up, and we were supposed to take some of the feces from the older pigs and mix it in w/ the water for the younger ones for the same reason. Get pigs exposed to those bacteria, and thus build up resistance to them at a younger age, when they are more resiliant. (yes it sounds gross, but hey, the vet told us to)

That is stupid.

I can understand how picking your noice would keep your sinuses healthier, but then again you are putting bacteria that is on your fingers up into your sinuses, therefore adding to the problem...

I cannot understand how he thinks eating it would boost your immune system. On the contrary...

***Looking around for the parody sign*** lol

Pick, sure, in private and not in public. Eat, nope, there are better things to eat. Remember kids, You ARE what you eat. :D

you can pick your friends and you can pick your nose. Just don't pick your friends nose.

What about sharing it? Someone could start up a whole company on prepackaged boogers, sort of like sunflower seeds.

Gorp, now with 10% boogers.



I think I'll stick with eating a peck of dirt daily.
