When I was about 3 or 4, I was sitting in my mom's room picking my nose and eating my boogers. Well, my mom came up and said "Don't you know that if you pick your nose and eat your boogers, they collect in your stomach and sooner or later a big green worm will crawl out of your mouth?"
I still pick my nose (who doesn't) but that scared me into not eating them, that's for sure.
