I remember Draginol posting a month ago about how his son eats his own buggers. At the time, I remembered several articles saying this was actually supposed to be beneficial, and is natures way of strengthening a childs immune system. Well I found the article, but google yields many more on the subject.

"And eating the dry remains of what you pull out is a great way of strengthening the body's immune system.
"Medically it makes great sense and is a perfectly natural thing to do. In terms of the immune system the nose is a filter in which a great deal of bacteria are collected, and when this mixture arrives in the intestines it works just like a medicine."
