I once read that eating your bogeys does, indeed, help build your immune system against such things as allergies. Is this correct?

No, they don't.
They are dead foreign substances that the body has successfully defeated and transported out of the body in a mucosal medium which has then dried and become lodged in the nasal cavity to be later expelled in the dried form and (hopefully) discarded but most often eaten by uneducated teenagers.

BOOGERS MAY BE THE PERFECT FOOD
Doctors at the Mario Clinic in Franz, New Mexico have determined that boogeroucious pelletious, commonly known as boogers, may actually contain all of the daily nutrients needed by the human body.
Professer Holcum Bigun PHd. DDS, ENh & SOb, head of the Nose Of Plenty Project at Eastwood College, announced the results of their studies to the AMA last week at the National Ear Nose and Throat Convention. "It's possible that the olfactory system of a single human being, with a serious cold, could feed an entire family of four, said Dr. Bigun to the attendees. There is certainly no reason why any community should sucumb to famine, when each individual can produce enough edible pellets to sustain his own body for several weeks."
The study also seems to suggest an explanation for the increased incidence of obesity in modern day America. Using hidden video cameras, reseachers followed a test group of fat people around and witnessed them eating boogers in the comfort of their cars. A control group of big dudes were only allowed to eat sugar, implanted in their noses to simulate boogers. The control group did loose weight, but over time they developed more tooth decay.

Yes, they do. Your nose breathes the air around you & this is full of air-born bugs. Eating them makes your body "fight" them as foreign bodies thus increasing your immunity to common bugs.

Seeing as it's a waste product made by your nose hairs filtering the dust, fumes, and other crap we breath in every minute, I wouldn't have thought so.
