Snotters......

[Fluff Muppet]

Why is it so bad to eat snotters....when surely biting your nails your nails is worse... If you bit your nails no-one grimaces at that, instead it just thought of as a bad habit but to eat your snotters is thought of as disgusting... Just wondering........

Neither, in my opinion are very pleasant habits, however, eating " snotters" is unpleasant because of what they are!!! The hairs in your nose filter out and trap impurties and dirt from the air we breath in. We than produce mucous which mixes with the dirt and washes it out of the nose when we blow our nose. So the question should be would you eat any other product expelled from your body???
