Pick your nose and eat it!

Top doc backs picking your nose and eating it

Picking your nose and eating it is one of the best ways to stay healthy, according to a top Austrian doctor.

Innsbruck-based lung specialist Prof Dr Friedrich Bischinger said people who pick their noses with their fingers were healthy, happier and probably better in tune with their bodies.

He says society should adopt a new approach to nose-picking and encourage children to take it up.

Dr Bischinger said: "With the finger you can get to places you just can't reach with a handkerchief, keeping your nose far cleaner.

"And eating the dry remains of what you pull out is a great way of strengthening the body's immune system.

"Medically it makes great sense and is a perfectly natural thing to do. In terms of the immune system the nose is a filter in which a great deal of bacteria are collected, and when this mixture arrives in the intestines it works just like a medicine.

"Modern medicine is constantly trying to do the same thing through far more complicated methods, people who pick their nose and eat it get a natural boost to their immune system for free."

He pointed out that children happily pick their noses, yet by the time they have become adults they have stopped under pressure from a society that has branded it disgusting and anti social.

He said: "I would recommend a new approach where children are encouraged to pick their nose. It is a completely natural response and medically a good idea as well."

And he pointed out that if anyone was really worried about what their neighbour was thinking, they could still enjoy picking their nose in private if they still wanted to get the benefits it offered.

Here's to a healthier you!

Hmm... I pick my nose and I'm not really that healthy.

Well, just think how unhealthy you'd be if you didn't! I look forward to a future where a young couple can lie back in the park and picnic on each others mucus.

I often pick my nose, even now (in private, of course), but stopped eating it after crossing the age of 6. Maybe I should get back into the good ol' habbits

All things considered Bastich, that photograph was totally unnecessary.

LMAO!

Well, I have known women that like to pop their boyfriend's zits. Is picking their nose really any worse?

Well, he may be dumb, but he IS healthy:

The more you pick your nose, the more bacteria gets in there and the more likely you will catch the flu.

This must be the most disgusting thread since ratemypoo.

So booger burgers and snot shakes are healthy? No wonder little kids are always so healthy and energetic!

And are scabs good for anything?

(Just curious)
