Picking your nose and eating it might even be good for you. Various scientists have long hypothesized that eating mucus from your own nose is an effective method of strengthening the immune system. Nasal secretions trap germs and other toxins that are in the air so that they don’t enter our lungs. Instead, we swallow most of our nose mucus, even if we don’t actually pick our nose and eat it. In the GI track, these germs can act like a vaccine, teaching our immune system what pathogens are in our environment. Our immune system can then be primed and ready to fight the specific germs we encounter regularly. Too much cleanliness may also be associated with allergies. Here is your post.
