Professor Dr. Friedrich, a lung specialist in Austria, says picking your nose and eating it is healthy for two reasons:
1) "With the finger you can get to places you just can't reach with a handkerchief, keeping your nose far cleaner."
2) "Eating the dry remains of what you pull out is a great way of strengthening the body's immune system. The nose is a filter in which a great deal of bacteria is collected, and when this mixture arrives in the intestines it works just like a medicine."
The Case Against Picking Your Nose and Eating It
Most medical peeps think it's best to just avoid germs (ie. not eat them) to prevent getting sick. That's why they recommend that you wash your hands a lot, keep your fingers out of your nose and eat your vegetables (not your boogers). Plus, there's also the argument that it's just plain gross to pick your nose and eat it.

you wont be a loser because everybody i bet when they were little or now picked their nose and ate there boogers and still picks their nose but probably not the eat part. but don't feel like a loser just because you do something if other people think it is nasty let them think that but otherwise who cares everyone picks their nose so don't feel bad that you still eat your boogers.
