When I used to suck in my boogers through my nose my baby-sitter said that I was eating my boogers whenever I did that. She said that if I keep doing that a booger tree is going to grow inside of me and I would have boogers coming out of my ears and mouth and nose and stuff. I got scared, but it didn't stop me from swallowing my boogers.
