I used to think bogies were made of dead flies which had flown up my nose.

My mother once told me that if I ate my boogers they would turn into maggots in my belly and I would have to get my stomach pumped.

My mother once told me that i shouldn't sniff to clear my nose, because the boogers would go into my brain. After that, i was scared to do it, even though i didn't believe her.

My kids believe if they pick their nose their butts will fall off!

I used to believe that if you picked your nose far up enough, a snail at the top would bite your finger.

My older cousin told me that when you picked your nose, you'd actually pick a part of your brain. I didnt pick my nose after that...

My boyfriend told his little brother that snot was actually dead parts of your brain. He believed until in his early twenties!

My sister always had one finger up her nose as a child. I told her that the 'bogies' were bits of dried brain she was picking out and if she didn't stop she would die. She believed me, but it didn't stop her nose picking habits.

My mum always told me not to pick my nose and eat it because spiders would grow in my tummy......
