Yeah. Right.
Some news really should be kept from children. An Austrian doctor last week
claimed picking your nose and eating it was one of the best ways to stay
healthy. Dr Friedrich Bischinger said dead bacteria in snot boosts your
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,"
he told the Ananova news service. "Modern medicine is constantly trying to
do the same thing through far more complicated methods [but] people who
pick their nose and eat it get a natural boost to their immune system for
free."
He said parents should urge their children to take up nose-picking. But
most children don't need encouragement. Bizarre magazine reports that
that's because snot tastes good. The saline and nutrients in nose mucus are
a savoury delight, which may be nature's way of encouraging us to eat up
and reap the health benefits.
Bon appetit.
