Is it normal to still eat your boogers?

Unusual.Less common, but harmless

Some people keep eating their boogers into adulthood, though it’s less common and usually kept private. It’s generally harmless, but picking can irritate the inside of your nose, so tissues and handwashing are a better bet.

Yep, some people keep doing it after childhood. It’s just not something most adults advertise, so it can seem rarer than it is—and plenty of people find it gross, even if it’s not a big deal to you.

Eating a little nasal mucus is generally harmless, but frequent picking can leave your nose sore or irritated. A tissue is kinder to your nose, and washing your hands afterward is a good idea.
