Boogers Are Good For You
Hey, kids! The next time your mom or dad scolds you over dinner and tells you to eat your greens, take your finger (no, not that one, your index finger), stick it deep into your nose, dig for a big booger, pull it out and triumphantly stick it in your mouth and eat it.
You’ll get sent to your room, spanked and grounded (not necessarily in that order), but you’ll be healthier for it!
Prof. Dr. Bischinger says that “picking your nose and eating it is one of the best ways to stay healthy.”
According to the wire story, “Innsbruck-based lung specialist Prof. Dr. Friedrich Bischinger said people who pick their noses with their fingers were healthier, happier and probably better in tune with their bodies.

Oh, isn’t that lovely?
it’s true! since i read about that like a year ago, i haven’t been sick since!
and it’s funny that phillip’s comment is making fun of jody’s feminine english language usage!
I was waiting for some comment related to my name.
Yeah, but Prof. Dr. Bischinger, it’s still really gross!
(And Jody – grody!)
Heh, just blogged that, too. Has anybody found a homepage of the professor or the study itself? Everything I find are lots of people writing about it, but none linking to the poor professor…
That’s the most disgusting thing I’ve ever heard! I can’t believ ppl are falling for it!
At first it was Urine, drinking your urine is actually good for you, now boogers. I think I’ll get a jump on things and start eating my own toilet snickers too.
i eat my boogers
its true, ive eaten my boogers as long as i can remember. but i havnt been sick for maybe 4 yrs straight now.
it might seem nasty, but drinking ur pee is way more disgusting than this.
idk maybe this will be the new scientific breakthrough.
A search of that professors name shows that this is the most important thing he’s ever done!
