Picking your nose and eating it is one of the best ways to stay healthy, according to a top Austrian doctor. Innsbruck-based lung specialist Prof Dr Friedrich Bischinger said people who pick their noses with their fingers were healthy, happier and probably better in tune with their bodies.

 

He says society should adopt a new approach to nose picking and encourage children to take it up.

 

Dr Bischinger said: “With the finger you can get to places you just can’t reach with a handkerchief, keeping your nose far cleaner. “And eating the dry remains of what you pull out is a great way of strengthening the body’s immune system. “Medically it makes great sense and is a perfectly natural thing to do. In terms of the immune system the nose is a filter in which a great deal of bacteria are collected, and when this mixture arrives in the intestines it works just like a medicine. “Modern medicine is constantly trying to do the same thing through far more complicated methods, people who pick their nose and eat it get a natural boost to their immune system for free.” —Ananova

Thank you, but I'd rather be diseased.

There's no shame in having to dig deep. You need the right tool for the job sometimes...

[Guest cobainwasmurdered]

You could at least provide a link to your "news" source.

Sick. I never ever ate my boogers as a kid......I just found creative places to get rid of them at.....(under the lunch table, under a chair, on the bathroom wall at school......) but I never ate them. But still.......this has to be flawed research or something.

That's your defintion of creative? Creative is wiping it on someone elses shirt and them not knowing it.

 

 

Next you're gonna say you stuck your chewed gum under your desk in school.

Wiping it on someone else's shirt? Hmmm.........I never thought of that.........*goes back to elementary school*

Hey, it said creative and gross. Not how mature it is.

 

You can be really nasty and wipe it on your wallet or money, and have other people fondle it.

You gotta be kidding me.

[Kapoutman]

The thing is that it really makes sense.

If that's true, then why are lttle kids always so fucking sick?

[MarvinisaLunatic]

because little kids dont have fully developed immune systems..

 

I have to agree that this makes sense to a point.

[MrRant]

That and because some parents freak out if a kid eats a cookie that was on the ground for 3 seconds.

 

I mean I can see that when they are in their first year when their immune system is week but around that year point the 5 second rule applies.

 

* Unless it's like a popsicle or something sticky that hair and shit sticks to immediately.

I'm pretty sure a homeless guy will eat it. He can peel off the hair and make a toupee.

[DerangedHermit]

This guy and Jocelyn Elders should get hitched up.

[Red Baron]

so this is why I hardly get sick

[Guest Danny Dubya v 2.0]

Well, you could just sniffle your snots and gulp em down your throat like a forced nasal drip, they don't necessarily have to be picked and then eaten.

[EricMM]

wouldn't that cause post-nasal drip?

 

This is just weird.

 

Like, if there were benefits to ingesting one's own semen (reclaiming lost protein?) I still don't think it'd catch on...

 

This is the same way.
