once a girl in my class was picking her nose and my teacher made the whole class sit down and she told us that snot is tiny wee bugs too small for us to see and that when we breath in they get stuck on our nose hairs and they built up and make snot.so that when you're eating snot you're eating bugs.i believed it for years
(the girl who had beeing picking her nose took ages to stop crying)
