What are the benefits of booger?
Boogers don't really have any benefits. Boogers are the results of the benefits of snot (mucus) in your nose. Dust particles get trapped in the moist mucus, dry and become boogers. Boogers are then expelled via 'blowing your nose' and the dirt particles are removed, never reaching your lower respiratory system (lungs). Without mucus (and boogers) you would have more dirt (and other particulates) in your lungs and be at higher risk of infection and other diseases.
Can you get pneumonia by swallowing water into your lungs?
I do it constantly, and Ive never had pneumonia? Since pneumonia is defined as: " A respiratory disease characterized by inflammation of the lung parenchyma (excluding the bronchi) with congestion caused by viruses or bacteria or irritants ", I would have to say no. While swallowing liquids the incorrect way may be irritating, it is very brief. I do believe pneumonia is something that progresses over time, and not in a period as short as the coughing that follows what we are discussing.
