You don’t realize how great it is to breathe through your nose until you can’t. Whether you suffer from allergies or a cold, excess snot makes life difficult.
A runny nose is neither sexy nor professional, but be thankful for mucus. Life would be much worse without it. Snot keeps the sinus cavity lubricated. It filters allergens and other impurities from the air we breathe. Mucus increases when we get sick, because the proteins in snot help pull invasive germs, viruses, and bacteria out of the body.
