The words are: Cystic Fibrosis
This is a disease caused by genetics that ultimately causes infections in the lungs. It causes the glands in the body to secrete something called mucus. You know when you have a cold you have all that stuff you must blow through your nose...yes? It sometimes causes you to cough. I will be polite and not say the word...but the nice way of saying it is mucus. Anyway...this mucus is constantly being produced in the body of a child with cystic fibrosis and it causes him/her to have colds, or worse - bronchitis or pneumonia. Those respiratory infections can threaten the life of a child. Cystic fibrosis is very serious as the mucus can build up in internal passageways...especially the lungs.

Look it up at "Information about Cystic Fibrosis on Yahoo! Health" on the web.
It includes formation of mucus in victims. The mucus can harbor bacteria
