    Boogers Have Salt

    So to that end, let us celebrate their salty goodness with an Island Drink Special.

    I did not know that boogers have salt. I flush my nasal passages out with saline solution with a neti pot. I was unaware I might have been flushing a vital nutrient, or two.

    Our body has been built to consume snot, because the nasal mucus is normally swallowed after being moved inside by the motion of the cilia. Your nose and sinuses make about a quart (about 1 liter) of snot every day. The mucus contains a cocktail of antiseptic enzymes that kill or weaken many of the bacteria that become entangled in it, so reintroducing the crippled microorganisms may afford the immune system an opportunity to produce antibodies in relative safety. A study performed by Sidney Tarachow of the State University of New York which reported that people who ate their boogers found them tasty.

    That's like going from table salt to sea salt. More yummier, but you don't know why.
