Eating boogers!
Why!? Like sure, kids do it but they also eat sand and basically anything they can put in their mouth.
But why would you do it as an adult?! You can pick your nose and the fling it away, or even wipe it on a wall like a psycho, but eating it?? I guess at least it's keeping the environment clean?
There's such an amorphous dividing line around bodily fluids. Swallowing your saliva is fine, but as soon as it exits the mouth, it shouldn't go back in. Unless it's from someone else that you really like, but even then only a tiny bit, incidental to the act of kissing. The same does not apply to boogers. There's also some sort of age or stage of life after which it's no longer acceptable to drink breast milk, unless it's from a different species.
I mean afaik boogers are just the dirt that gets filtered out when you breathe so not eating them seems the correct thing since the body already stops it from entering.
from entering your lungs, your lungs don't really break those stuffs down as well as your stomach does.
I’ll eat ass after a rave but I won’t eat a booger.
Honestly I think the grossest part of eating boogers is putting dirty fingers in your mouth
