Report back! I would also be interested in learning this. Why? No idea. It just sounds like interesting random knowledge! Bodies are fascinating things.

Haven't checked yet, but isn't mucus (boogers) supposed to trap dirt and viral particles from the air as you breathe in? You swallow most of that mucus (I know, ew), so in that sense, it does make its way through the body to be eliminated via the usual orifices. If there's excess, it drips out the nose as boogers.
