Hello Tuesday still
cold and wet here in Newie, I still have a headache and I feel like
something is sitting on my chest but such is life.
Today I have the first
disgusting facts post, yes there will be more to come in the future
and yes I am using another one of Leo's books to get the facts out
of.
Let's start off with
snot, we all have it is a normal bodily function but did you know:
A
sneeze causes snot to exit the nose at over 60 kilometre per hour
which is 37 miles per hour
A
person swallows about a litre of snot a day without even realising it
Snot
is made of water, salt and a gluey sugary substance called mucin
Snot
is more that just a sticky goo, it contains antibodies that help the
body recognise invading bacteria and viruses and creates enzymes to
help kill them.
Snot
protects you from dirt and germs in the air by catching them
Your
snot looks more yellow when you have a cold because of all the white
blood cells in it
If
you've been hanging out in a dusty room, your snot will be a grey
dust colour.
Man oh man, I really needed to know that! What about when it's green?
ReplyDeleteIt may be disgusting but this is really interesting! Thanks for sharing on the facts.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Good to know, I guess. I've been swallowing more than my average share the last two weeks--ROFL! :)
ReplyDeleteDear Jo-Anne, I so love to learn and invariably you teach me something with your postings. Thanks for the info on snot! Peace.
ReplyDeleteWell, I have a good post nasal drip going on. Mucus are us.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet 750 ml of that is right when you first get up...
ReplyDeleteUgh, I think I picked the wrong day to read your blog. I guess the good news is that I think I lost my appetite, won't be over-eating at dinner tonight.
ReplyDeleteIan............When it's green your really sick
ReplyDeleteNancy..........Yeah I thought so
Rita............Yeah I know
Dee.............At least my posts are not boring, I hope

Gross, but interesting. Disgusting stuff rarely bothers me.
