Is it normal to eat your boogers as an adult?
Unusual.Less common, but harmless
Some adults do eat their boogers, though most keep it private and many people find it gross. It’s generally not a big deal, but using a tissue is cleaner and kinder to your nose.
You’re not the only adult who does it. Dried mucus can have a salty taste, and for some people it’s simply part of a nose-picking habit—but it’s less socially accepted than doing it as a kid, so people tend to hide it or avoid talking about it.
It’s generally harmless, but fingers and noses both carry germs, and digging around can irritate or scratch the inside of your nose. A tissue and a quick handwash are the more hygienic option.
