Of course, eating shit through your nose is disgusting, no one disputes that.
The curious thing is that this habit, for children and some adults, can be good for health.
Canadian researcher Scott Napper, a professor of biochemistry at the University of Saskatchewan, explained to the Canadian Press Agency that nasal mucus has the ability to trap germs, preventing them from entering our bodies. And these germs that accumulate in the nose may be good because they would make the human immune system more resistant to the same germs.
Scott Napper is a father of two daughters and a senior researcher at Organization of vaccination and diseases.
He says parents should not scold their children for eating boogers.
But he admits that at home, even in the name of science, his wife allows her daughters to eat their boogers: “She is committed to training them to become ladies.”
He is not the first expert to point out the benefits of this habit.
Canadian researcher Scott Napper now wants to prove his point and has announced that he will continue his studies.
He is looking for volunteers to do the tests. Does anyone qualify? lol
The idea is to compare a group of participants who pick and eat poop from their noses with another group who don’t.
