So apparently we are to just pick our noses and eat the boogers that comes out, because why?? It is nutritious.
Irritating right??
Well, A professor in Canada claims that eating the boogers might improve your health.
The professor of biochemistry at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, said that by consuming boogers, the immune system learns what it is surrounded by. Lol.
Professor Scott Napper told his students that mucus has a sweet taste, and that could be a signal to the body to consume and derive information for the immune system from it.
Napper said his hypothesis also fits with other theories that examine the relationship between improved hygiene and increased allergies and autoimmune
disorders. He likes talking about nose picking and science to teach students how seemingly simple questions can lead to valuable scientific discoveries.
Napper wants to conduct a study, comparing booger eaters to non eaters. He said that surprisingly, he has been contacted by people wanting to participate in his study.
The floor is still open for more people hoping to eat from their noses.
