Errr...*cough*I used to eat my snot all the time when I was little and I only get sick about once a year...*hides*

[on_diet_cat]

I read from somewhere that we actually take in our "snot" 12 times a day without us knowing. When I read that first I find it gross, now I dun.

[Atamand]

Makes sense, but it's still pretty nasty. We sneeze to get the stuff stuck in the mucus out of our nose. Not into our mouths.

[Kristina]

You know...(not that I promote eating the content of your nostrils), your nose is connected to your throat. Phlem is basically snot dripping the wrong way and we've all had that.

I think I am gonna throw up!

You do realize that throwing up is basically on the same level of gross?

Amethyst, although I hate to admit it, I did too, and rarely got sick. >_>

[Igg]

Woo, I guess I'm going to stick with unhealthy-ness.

Both of my parents are doctors, so I've been exposed to a lot. *digs out a nice moonrock for you all* Anybody want a vaccine?

[*Chellie]

Well my parents would faint if they saw me eatin a boogie when I was little and I never did...I don't think and I get sick at least 4 or 5 times a year.

Hm... I did a search on google and this is what I got (off "kidzworld.com"):

The average person swallows about a quart of snot a day.

So, "eating" snot is as normal as your skin shedding unnoticed everyday. Anywho, I never ate snot/boogers/whatchamacallit, but I rarely get sick.

[Atamand]

Yeah, but that kind of ingestion you don't notice. Purposeful ingestion of material that your body tries to get rid of.....that's another story.

Yeah..I sniff a lot and...never mind.

[shortin]

eh just the thought of putting snot in your mouth makes me feel sick. I wont ever understand how that can be healthy.

[Harmonize]

Remind me to add a little extra ingredient in my salad the next time I eat ^^

[Strechii]

That'll take me a while to get use to knowing, but it's not the grossest thing I've heard.

People who grow up in homes that aren't constantly cleaned have less allergies.

[Tailseh]

I've never.. ever put a booger in my mouth.

[Anubis]

I doubt that that's true. Snot is made up of dust/dirt/icky stuff/whatever comes in where the sun don't shine, and that would be severely UNhealthly.

I always ate my snot, up to when I was about six or seven. I was last sick about two years ago. *jumps in hedge, hides in shame, and never comes out*
