Scientific name for boogers

Dried mucus is “inspissated mucus” in medicalese.
Not necessarily a booger, though.

There may not be a latinate name for boogers, but I bet there’s one for booger-eating in the psych world. Find that, and you may have a lead.

Think you almost have it. From the OED:

ˈrhinolith, a nasal calculus; hence rhinoˈlithic

see: Rhino-

Boogerphagia.

In Japanese, boogers are “hanakuso” 鼻糞 (nose-shit). Interestingly, rheum is sometimes referred to as “mekuso” 目糞 (eye-shit) and ear wax is “mimikuso” 耳糞 (ear-shit). So simple. :smiley:
