is snot your bodys way of combating a viral invader or is the virus simply using to reproduce & spread itself?
Q. When you catch a cold, you get a runny nose. Is snot your body s way of combating a viral invader, or is the virus simply using you to reproduce and spread itself? The common cold generally doesn't land you in bed: is this evidence of you're own abilities to "fight" the virus, or is the virus manipulating you to maximize its exposure to uninfected individuals?

A. Both, actually. Mucus precents the bacteria and virus from causing an effective infection, and continiously washes it away, but then provides an effective vector to infect other organisms as it is expelled from you.

What does it mean if someone has white snot and blood in poop?
Q. If someone was having sharp pains in their stomach, and has clear white snot and blood in their poop, and it smelt worse than normal poop, what could be wrong with them?

A. Blood and mucus in the faeces indicate bowel damage and/or inflammation. Go to the doctor and have it checked out. Nothing else will sort out this problem.

How do you get your dog to quit pressing her nose on the slider glass and smearing snot on it ?
Q. I can't take my husband complaining anymore about this. The dog has the worst snot nose but I always clean the window and she loves to watch out the door and it is funny to watch her smash her nose up against the glass.
Asked by a i an G - Sun May 21 20:43:49 2006 - - 10 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Get some tin foil and crinkle it up, then flatten it out slightly. Tape it to the door window right were she would rest either her paws or face. Don't cover the part were she can see out of. The idea is that you want her to go and do it so if you cover it all the way she won't do it until you uncover it. Anyway, dogs HATE the feel of crinkled up tin foil and once they get the idea of equating the door window as something that doesn't feel nice you can then remove the foil. If you see her attempting it again do the same thing. Eventually she'll give up knowing that you will put the nasty feeling stuff right back again. Jay

How can I control my snot while crying?
Q. Normally I'd blow my nose, but I am in a play in which I cry and my snot POURS out of me, no breaks for blowage. Is there anything I can try to keep the snot under control (and in my nose) while I cry onstage?
Asked by Anne - Tue Jun 1 09:34:46 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Practice with tissues, handerchief, or what's available. When you start to cry, continue to hold your head down to keep the snot and tears under control with the cloth or tissue. Jerk your head up often to show the audience your dismay, and the put it back down again, wiping tears and snot away, then back up with a straight face, only to burst into tears once more. make it look natural. Most people do lose nose drippings when crying. Just let them run and wipe.

A. It sounds like you probably have a low-grade, chronic sinus infection. It's even more likely if you use air conditioning. A neti pot and saline solution, rinsing your sinuses once daily, can make a huge difference. Since you're noticing this in the morning, I'd suggest doing it shortly before bed. BTW, my otolaryngologist (nose doc) recommends the neti pot, so long as you're faithful about cleaning it properly. If the whole idea makes you wary, try a saline nasal spray--no medications, just a saline solution sprayed into each nostril.
