    Top doc backs picking your nose and eating it

    Picking your nose and eating it is one of the best ways to stay healthy, according to a top Austrian doctor.

    Innsbruck-based lung specialist Prof Dr Friedrich Bischinger said people who pick their noses with their fingers were healthy, happier and probably better in tune with their bodies.

    He says society should adopt a new approach to nose-picking and encourage children to take it up.

    Dr Bischinger said: "With the finger you can get to places you just can't reach with a handkerchief, keeping your nose far cleaner.

    "And eating the dry remains of what you pull out is a great way of strengthening the body's immune system.

    "Medically it makes great sense and is a perfectly natural thing to do. In terms of the immune system the nose is a filter in which a great deal of bacteria are collected, and when this mixture arrives in the intestines it works just like a medicine.

    "Modern medicine is constantly trying to do the same thing through far more complicated methods, people who pick their nose and eat it get a natural boost to their immune system for free."

    He pointed out that children happily pick their noses, yet by the time they have become adults they have stopped under pressure from a society that has branded it disgusting and anti social.

    He said: "I would recommend a new approach where children are encouraged to pick their nose. It is a completely natural response and medically a good idea as well."

    And he pointed out that if anyone was really worried about what their neighbour was thinking, they could still enjoy picking their nose in private if they still wanted to get the benefits it offered.

    I don't need to comment on how disgusting that is... on the other hand, I'm glad none of you knew me when I was a kid. (is that why I grew up to be so healthy?) :eek:

    Hey, where did you guys get that song from? Never heard it but it sounds really funny.

    An' what if I did do it? Even though I admit to nothing, and never will. What does that make me? And I'm not here just defending myself but all those Pickers out there who've been caught. Each an' every one of them, who has to suffer the shame and humiliation because of people like you..Are we not human?! If we pick, do we not bleed?!

    I am not an animal!

    i forgot to mention this. my dad has no shame in picking his nose. i hate riding in the car with him. it's like he's totally oblivious to the people in the cars next to us. he'll take turns with each finger when he can't seem to get taht one little piece of booger that keeps buggin him. :mad: at least he doesn't eat it. :rolleyes:

    A good friend of mine kept a massive collection under his driver-side car seat. I can't think about this anymore...
