Nit Picking?
Top doc backs picking your nose and eating it
Picking your nose and eating it is one of the best ways to stay healthy, according to a top Austrian doctor. Innsbruck-based lung specialist Prof Dr Friedrich Bischinger said people who pick their noses with their fingers were healthy, happier and probably better in tune with their bodies. He says society should adopt a new approach to nose-picking and encourage children to take it up.
I stole this from Laurence at ATS.

I would guess that peole with chronic sinus infections don't get good solid nose booger chunks which are a challenge to pick out.

..I'm with triticale... people with chronic sinus infections would probably need some sort of medical-nose-sucking-straw to enjoy the nosecandy..

Actually, I suffer from chronic sinusitus, and as much gunk as drips down my throat into my stomach, you would think I'd be the healthiest person alive. And actually, aside from the constant sinus problems, I am rather healthy, but I'd rather not believe that was due to the constant snot that my poor tummy is exposed to.
