A doctor in Australia has come up with sufficient research that states that what we don’t know is that after we eat it, the boogers actually acts like a low grade flu shot. We eat the bacteria, the immune system fights off the bacteria, causing our immune system to strengthen. It acts just like a medicine would.
After watching Uppity’s post on a hoarder yesterday, I thought about how this man continuously wipes his snot with his hand and a tiny Kleenex.
Think about it, he presses the elevator button, opens the door, touches his money when he pays his check at the restaurant and spreads whatever is released from his nose. Multiply that times infinity and now you understand why illness has a super highway to your body.
I truly had a difficult time getting through this one.

I watch Hoarders every week so I can feel better about myself…:) You don’t even want to know what is growing on your keyboard!!

Believe me when I tell you that I take my laptop apart weekly. I spray it with Cidex. Not supposed to, but I do it anyway.

I believe I’ll just take your word and not click on that link. I think I’ll go take a shower now.

Having taken Serv Safe multiple times (food safety class) I am always amazed that people do not connect this germ phobia and disinfecting everything in sight to the rapid rise of super germs.
We have no immunity because we do not allow our bodies sufficient exposure to build up resistance. Watch the workers in restaurants with glove use policies- how many change their gloves between EACH AND EVERY product or task? If they were barehanded they would feel the stuff on their hands and wash them!
I draw the line at eating boogers!
As Nana always said-
Clean enough to be healthy, dirty enough to be happy!
I must be doing something right- my daughter never missed a day of school until tenth grade!
Don’t touch doorknobs though!

Great words of wisdom from Nana. I always take the stairs in our building for this reason.

My young Grandson should not get sick for a long time.
