We don't know what our boogers smell like - it's the default smell for us.

Title, basically. Enjoy trying to sniff your own snot!

As someone dealing with an incredibly stubborn post nasal drip, I can unfortunately confirm I know what my snot smells and tastes like, as it was permanently on my breath for several days when it was at its worst.

Use a neti pot. Whatever you don't smell afterward — that's boogers.

Sort of. Def. learn to use a neti pot. It's the best way to clean your nasal passages.

If my boogers start smelling like peanut butter it means I’m getting a sinus infection. Happens without fail 2-3 days after I notice it.

That's foul....but handy. Ive only had one sinus infection and the only thing that made me aware of it was the intense headache. Yeah, sounds like you have them often....I don't know how you do it. The vertigo was the absolute worst.
