-It’s not disgusting once you figure out that the mucus within our nasal passage is 95% water. The other 5% is bacteria. So, whether you consume it or not, we already have both elements from the mucus in our bodies. It really can do nothing but benefit us, because once the mucus is consumed, it travels through our body and cleanses it until it flushes out of our system when we urinate, thus leaving our immune system with cleaner passageways, along with no harm done. Now if you blow your nose, you can strain the muscles inside of your nasal bridge due to blunt force and pressure. Plus, blowing your nose doesnt benefit your immune system in any way.

1. Plantar Warts, not Planter’s Warts. Plantar refers to the bottom of the foot. Plantar fasciitis is a swelling of tendons on the bottom of the foot, for example.

2. Many vaccines are administered orally. Several people have the incorrect notion that the stomach acid renders this ineffective, they are wrong.

3. Urine contains almost zero ammonia. It contains urea in chemical equilibrium with uric acid, which, under the right circumstances and over a much longer period of time than it takes for your pee to go down the drain, will be changed into ammonium, which in turn will find an equilibrium state with ammonia dependent on the redox state of the environment.

4. Peeing on your feet does nothing other than make your feet smell like pee. The urea in athletes foot medicine is there only to soften the skin so that the actual medicine can get into the skin.

5. A few people appear unclear about the bacteria in poop. That bacteria is very much alive. Dont eat poop. Seriously. Even your very own poop is dangerously high in bacteria that can make you quite sick.

6. The bacteria in your boogers is dead. The bacteria in vaccines is also dead. This is why they work to prime your immune system to fight off those bugs, without getting you sick. Dead bacteria = good, live bacteria = bad, while not strictly correct (some bacteria are good for you even alive), might be a helpful pneumonic here.

Woah woah, wtf?

My theory is that people who pick and eat their boogers are healthier, but not as a direct effect from the boogers. People who do “gross” things like that are generally less worried in their day-to-day lives. I have observed a very high correlation between the number of things a person is grossed out by and the number of worries that person has. Just relax and don’t allow unreasoned stigmas control your behavior. Combine that with a low-calorie diet and you’re well on your way to living 100 years.”[/quote]

Dude same here, the last time I got sick was last year when I had the swine flu, most likely because someone sneezed on me while I had my mouth open >.< which I agree is damn disgusting, but anyway I barely ever get sick, most once every few years.
