Scientists believe that kids eating boogers is a survival trait. Boogers are formed when the mucous in your nose catches some bacteria and then dries. Eating boogers exposes you to small amounts of common bacteria which boosts your immune system, much like a vaccination. So kids who eat their booger can have a better immune system and can be less likely to get sick.
