what are boogers made of?

Answer 1

I make mine out of turky, pickles and tomato with a little salt rolled in flower.

Answer 2

snail carcasses. No really, i found this on a site about fun stuff like that :

Boogers are mucus (myoo-kuss). Mucus is the thin, slippery material that is found inside your nose. Many people call mucus snot. Your nose makes nearly a cupful of snot every day. Snot is produced by the mucous membranes in the nose, which it moistens and protects.

When you inhale air through your nose, it contains lots of tiny particles, like dust, dirt, germs, and pollen. If these particles made it all the way to the lungs, the lungs could get damaged and it would be difficult to breathe. Snot works by trapping the particles and keeping them in the nose.

After these particles get stuck inside the nose, the mucus surrounds them along with some of the tiny hairs inside the nose called cilia. The mucus dries around the particles. When the particles and dried-out mucus clump together, you're left with a booger!

Answer 3

it's made of snot and dirt, the snot stays in your nose for so long until it hardens and therefore your boogers are born and brought out into the world by your finger and tossed to the side like a bad habit.

Answer 4

Ask! Yahoo had that same question today, here is the article:

Boogers "happen" when your nasal mucus combines with dirt and debris you breathe during the day. Mucus (aka "snot") prevents the dirt from reaching your lungs. Without it, infections would be far more common.

So, long and disgusting story short, the mucus eventually dries around the dirt and debris...

Answer 5

Dead brain cells

Kidding, I was told that as a kid, to stop me from crying (which produces more boogers.)

Anyways, it's made of mucus membrane, which protects the lungs.

Answer 6

Mucous...you should have learned that in 6th Grade. Boogers are made from Mucous that is in your nose to keep dirt out of it...that is why you shouldn't pick it, not only is it gross, is it dirty!!

Answer 7

Mucous and bacteria/ other particles you inhale, and everything nice, that's what boogers are made of.

Answer 8

it comes from the nose ... when dirt goes up the nose a mucus forms from a gland and the dirt sticks to it... as the nose is a very open place and most of the colds and flues and viruses we get go up our noses this is a very important process in our body functions.

Answer 9

boogers are made of atoms.

Answer 10

dirt particles and other stuff floating in the air that the tiny hairs in your nose has filtered out and kept from going into your lungs.
