No, but it will surely make people think strangely of you.

------------------------------

Yes and no. However, I do it myself. If you do it, you could get addicted. It can cause nose bleeds and lead to being secretive. It may not be bad because if you eat your snot, it will go to your stomach and join the rest of the mucous on your stomach wall. Nose picking addictions are fairly common in toddlers, but if you get older, you're making a spectacle of yourself.

Very probably ! Apart from being a disgusting habit - the nostrils are essentially a 'trap' to stop dust, pollen etc getting into the lungs. If you eat what's accumulated up there - you're transferring possibly harmful bacteria and other matter directly into your body !

Picking your nose can make your nostrils red and sore if frequent picking is occurring.

Is eating your boogers bad?

Picking them out can cause a nosebleed, and many people would find the habit disgusting. But there's no real risk to it. infact; the only thing about picking your nose and eating it that is dangerous is not finding germs there and introducing them to your body when you eat it but is introducing to germs to it from your hands. this means that eating your bogies is only bad for you if you don't wash your hands first. some scientists have gone as far as to say that it is good for you, it keeps your nose far cleaner than a handkerchief does and eating whats been up there strengthens your immune system. i must however issue a health warning, eating your own bogies is fine and could even be encouraged but eating others bogies will always be frowned upon and you could end up with a smack.
