pick your nose & stay healthy !

look what I found guys ! lol

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."

WTF???

ok...

Actually, what is being said makes some sense. Ingesting the, ahem, 'dry remains' would put them into the stomach where the acid would destroy bugs rather than let them fester in the nasal cavities.

It's just when people pick their noses, they should then wash their hands. If they don't then it would be a way of transferring germs to other people or objects. Ick...

The nose picking isn't that good down here in Florida anyway, too much humidity... You've got to go out to the dry climates like Arizona & Nevada to get the really good "crusties"...
