Is there anything other than blowing my nose in the morning that I can do to reduce the number of boogers my nose produces? I am always self-concious, maybe even to the point of an irrational fear, that I have a booger in my nose. I genuinely feel that I have more than an average number of boogers.

The hair in your nose is a filter for the air you breathe in. The more polluted the air is (whether indoor or outdoor) the harder those hairs will have to work to extract the impurities. Good luck.

Moisture! The best thing to do is to keep the nose hydrated so nothing can...umm build up. I suggest something like a saline spray and flushing with a Neti Pot. (You can buy them at any pharmacy.) I have a nose ring and I am petrified that the ring will catch one of those buggers. So I keep my nostrils moisturized..lol...and it works.
Other than that, I think you have the normal amount of boogers. But if you are in a dry environment you might produce more since it gets dry in there. Try something like saline or a neti pot, I'm sure you will be pleased.

ahhahahahhahahhaah... Carry a compact mirroir with you so you can always check..
As for the amount of snot, im really sorry but i think you might be stuch with howmuch you have. Unless you have sinus issues. Ask your docter if you can take some type of cold medicine to clear up your nose.

Mucus is a good thing, believe it or not. It serves as a natural filter to keep a lot of bad stuff from entering your respiratory system. My advice to you would be to carry kleenex and make short trips to the bathroom to check yourself out in the mirror.

Shave every nose hair you have. Try to keep yourself healthy so you don't get the occurence of sniffles. That is all I can think of. Good luck
