Why You Shouldn't Eat Your Boogers

There are a lot of reasons why you shouldn't eat your boogers. For one, they're full of bacteria. In fact, one study found that the average booger contains over 100 million bacteria. That's more bacteria than you'll find on a public restroom doorknob.

Eating your boogers can also lead to other health problems, such as:

Ear infections: Eating your boogers can push bacteria into your Eustachian tubes, which can lead to ear infections.
Sinus infections: Eating your boogers can also push bacteria into your sinuses, which can lead to sinus infections.
Upset stomach: Eating your boogers can also upset your stomach, since they're full of bacteria and other stomach-irritating substances.

So, if you're looking for a healthy snack, reach for something else instead of your boogers.
