If you happen to be eating, step away from the meal while you read this!
Scientists from Harvard and MIT just released the results of a study that found parents should NOT discourage their kids from picking their noses and possibly eating it! What they found was, quote, “a rich reservoir of good bacteria.”
They say that when you eat your mucus, it prevents bacteria from sticking to your teeth. And the good bacteria you’re digesting can help fight against everything from ulcers to HIV.
It gets even more weird: The scientists say they’re now going to start developing a toothpaste and gum made out of a synthetic mucus to help you get the nose picking benefits.
Yeah….no, still can’t make a snack out of the inside of my nose, i don’t care if it gave me a million bucks…NO WAY!!
