Mucophagy (literally
snot-eating) is the consumption of the nasal
mucus and other detritus obtained from
nose-picking. It is a common but highly
taboo activity and is almost universally regarded with
disgust by others, even by those who participate in this activity themselves.
Mucophagy is one of a family of behaviors known collectively as pica.
