Have you heard of wikipedia, google, or for that fact, books? They are a better source than this place, and in the process, you might just increase your intellect. Also "erm"? wtf is that?

Boogers are formed from the particles from the air. I am not sure if I am right, but I believe that eating boogers can actually boost up your immunity against certain diseases because some boogers have some bacteria on it. As you consume it, your body will reconigze that stuff and provide immunity (though I don't do it).
It actually works kinda like vaccine.

i actually don't think they can be digested cuz ur stomach is coated with mucus so that the stomach acid doesn't erode ur stomach. So the acid basically doesn't dissvle the mucus(boogers)
