Mucophagy

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.
