Picking your nose and eating the boogers does help some to boost your bodies immune system and fight off other infections.

However it's really not healthy for you to pick your nose and eat your boogers because you're introducing bacteria and germs back into your body through your mouth.

But just picking your nose is not gonna do anything to boost your immune system but you will be getting the bacteria and germ laden boogers or snot out of your nose which is a good thing.

Just be sure to wash your hands after picking your nose before eating or touching any food or putting your finger into your mouth.

A lot of kids including myself used to pick our noses and eat them which was really gross thinking about it now and we were and are okay.

But you can actually get sick from eating your boogers so you should avoid doing it.

The boogers or snot is meant to come out of your body to get rid of the germs and bacteria and it's not meant for the boogers or snot to go back into your mouth.
