Dear Asker!

Boogers are a sign that your nose is working properly.

What is a booger made of?

Boogers are mucus. 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! Boogers can be squishy and slimy or tough and crumbly.

So I guess, there's nothing wrong with it..like most kids give a good laugh to their playmates ..it's just a matter of how often you clean your nose...


Hope that may help you!
Good luck!

Between your eyes you have a booger production plant. This plant produces boogers out of a mixture of gypsum and certain clay particles. Little Nose Fairies transport these boogers to your nose for storage until finally shipped for export. The most recent exchange rate for boogers is 47 Euros to the ton. But demand is expected to increase over the next decade and prices can triple.

It is little globs of snot that band together... it's like a filtration system to keep dirt and dust from entering your respiratory system... the wet goo part of the 'booger' acts as a filter and when you breathe in, anything that is in particle form is caught in the snot... that's why if you go out and are in a lot of dust, if you blow your nose the snot is the color of the dust you were in...

boogers are hardened mucus. Mucus lines the internal lining of your nose and throat and serves to trap dust and small foreign objects from entering your lungs. your body creates it naturally.

They are a result of the filtering system that tries to keep dust, etc., from getting in your lungs. When everything is working properly, the mucus capturing the dust and pollen, flows down your throat to your stomach. When things go wrong, you drip or it hardens and so on.

Your nose is a air filter. All the muck you breath in gets caught in there.
