Is it normal to pick your nose and eat it?

Mostly.Normal for most people

Nose-picking is common, and some people eat what they find, usually in private. It’s generally harmless, though it isn’t exactly considered polite or hygienic.

You’re not the only one: lots of people pick their nose, and some eat the result, even if they’d rather not announce it. It’s especially common in childhood, but some adults keep the habit too.

It’s usually not a big deal, but fingers and noses can both carry germs, and picking can irritate or scratch the inside of your nose. So tissues are the more socially acceptable—and cleaner—option.
