How do buggers in your nose form?
The formation is the result of two things. First is mucus which our bodies make to prevent our nasal passeges from drying out and to humidify the air which we inhale.

As the water in the mucus evaporates it leaves the contaminents and thickened mucus which is commonly called a booger.
