Well, you know what they say...

"You can pick your nose, you can pick your friends...but you can't pick your friend's nose!"

Kids sure do seem to do it naturally...maybe it IS something ancient and ingrained in our human psyche ...for some reason, who knows...LOL! ROFL!

Now I have wondered how many non pickers have noticed that your own fingers and the size of your own nostrils are exact perfect fit. There must be a reason.

Monkeys, pick thier noses without restraint and eat it. Humans do it but are inhibited only by societal restrains.

so I am inclined to believe it is natural. As one poster said kid do it but are taught not to.

Yea. I don't think that we will start if it is not already a personal practice and I don't advocate taking it up. But it is reasuring to those who do it that they are not weird or likely to get sick from it.

OK, first off I can't believe this is a board for health professionals and I see the word "Barfola!" Ha!:rotfl:

OK, perhaps the more reasonable among ya will get why this can be a real thing and begin to get why social stigmas are out of place and unhealthy.

Plus if you teach your children now to "stick only to whats outside the body" they'll ingrane inhibitions that will make them less complete adults.

You probly don't like to think of your children as future sexual beings, but they will mature whether or not you want them to remain your "little babies." And there's a great source of vitamin B12 available for lovers (vegans take note); your partner's sexual fluids! That's right, a man's baby-butter (ok, I diverged into a sophomoric term), or a woman's lubricant is quite nutritional. Great encouragement for that already great act, oral sex! Que no? Healthy people swallow!

i have worked with a nurse for nearly 20 years and she has this "habit" of "munching". she doesn't care who is around, what setting she is in... pt's room, elevator with a physician or staff meeting of 50. she digs for gold, pulls it out ... examines her "treasures" so carefully and then chomps down like it was a frito! our medical director witnessed this display of "healthy lifestyle" and puked where he stood... right next to her on the elevator! the patients have complained, laffed and scolded her. one older lady even slapped her hand "for such a nasty thing". we have a running joke that we will bring in biscuits and make sandwiches! if she wants to dig for gold that's fine but do it privately. its like pulling out a wedgie, you're not going to do it in the checkout line at walmart!!! :rotfl:
