She went into a trance while she was using her left pinky finger inserting it into her nose rotating it and then inserting it into her mouth. Overage she would do this 4-5 times always from the left nostril. She looked just so beautiful and relaxed!I found this habit to be a complete turn on and actually found it quite exciting. I had been going out with her for 2 years when one day i went back to her place she went into the kitchen to make me a cup of tea and whilst she was reading the paper she inserted her left pinky into her nose and began to rotate and then eat it! A number of times infact.I saw her in the reflection from the mirror. She saw that i saw her doing it. She cried! I said it doesnt matter i still love u!!! I actually found out that her grandmother Charlotte taught her this beautiful habbit! Mary left me after six wonderful years and i have not been in love ever since!!! I find it totally fascinating!!!Love to hear if you have any comments please email me on jamesrbhay@hotmail.com My old Girlfiriend Mary was of Maltese/French decent and used to pick her nose every night just after she brushed her teeth.

I shower once a week and wash my hands about once a day. The last time I got sick was when I had chicken pox in 5th grade. My theory is that people who pick and eat their boogers are healthier, but not as a direct effect from the boogers. People who do "gross" things like that are generally less worried in their day-to-day lives. I have observed a very high correlation between the number of things a person is grossed out by and the number of worries that person has. Just relax and don't allow unreasoned stigmas control your behavior. Combine that with a low-calorie diet and you're well on your way to living 100 years.

I have always thought it natural. I try to do it in private so as to not gross anyone else out. I pick and eat as I drive (sorry if you have caught me in your rearview) I haven't been sick in years even though asthmatics usually have compromised imune systems. I feel I am very in-touch (no pun intended) with my body and of course it doesn't hurt that I like rather interesting foods like oysters and have no problem with drinking the occasional raw egg. Not only is it a relief to free one's nostril of the nugget, it is a tactile delight to roll around on the tongue, chew, take apart, moisten and swallow. I have thought this is a demonstration of a type of OCD, but not that it is a totally bad thing. I do have trouble watching anyone else pick and eat.... but I think that this is something that was instilled in me by my parents and brings on feelings of guilt and hypocracy... that is the only thing I would like to be cured from.... Perhaps it is only as taboo today as a woman showing more than her ankles in the 17/1800's. I also pee in the shower and need to know what my crap looks like before I flush the toilet. I gain a better idea of my bodily processes from this forensic glance. You have no idea of how refreshing it is to read of others who have admitted to this “nasty” habit.

Every time I pick my nose
My Mommy says “no pickety!”
If I spread those germs around
We all could get quite sickety

So I take my fingers out right away
And ask her for a tissue.
Then while she’s wiping off my nose
I think “Oh pickety, I miss you!”

Helps if you dry them out of sight of other family members (hee hee) it's really nice to know all this and that it's so common. I was worried if it was dangerous and searching the net led me here. Other nibbles can be dandruff chunks and fingernails, of course. "Pica" it was called, last time I ever heard anything like it, but that referred to inedibles like clay, etc. (Still supposedly a mineral source) Folks around here are all hepped on "organic food". You can't get much more organic than this! Thanks for sharing!
