clean your nose/sinuses out daily with "simply saline" from your local drug store. it'll make a world of difference. oh, and your body produces the 'boogers' while filtering germs and debris you breath in, so it doesn't spread throughout your body.

1. The air that you breathe in is cleaned by tiny hairs in your nose, trapping little bits of dirt and dust and germs that come in through your nose.

2. As you breathe, the air is made slightly wet. Your nose having damp passages does this.

3. The next thing that takes place when air enters your nose is that the air is warmed. This happens because the blood flows through the lining of the nose and gives off heat.

Even though these three actions are to keep you healthy, germs can sometimes get into your respiratory system. The germs start growing in your nose, throat and lungs. You have a cold!

When you have a cold the linings of your nose and / or throat swell. Thick, clear liquid called mucus forms and its purpose is to wash away the germs. The mucus builds up and blocks the air passages. This is what causes a stuffy nose and a cough.

Snot:

"Snot", is just another word for mucus. Snot is beautiful human slime. When bits of stuff get stuck in your nose hairs, it’s the mucus or snot that surrounds the stuff and traps it.

Boogers:

Boogers are dried-up snot and dirty nose debris. They can be small, slimy lumps or big, dry, brown clumps. Either way, boogers are filled with the junk that’s in the air you breathe. Dust, pollen, germs, sand, fungi, smoke, small particles from outer space! The good thing about your mucus is that it helps trap all this junk and keep it from getting close into your lungs.

Function:

It seems like the main function of mucus, snot, boogers, whatever you want to call it is to trap particles, junk in the air inhaled through the nose and keep our lungs clean. Exhaling through the nose helps to expel, to push out the mucus with the trapped dirt in it. Our nose really acts like a vacuum cleaner for the air, and blowing our nose is like emptying the bag.

The hair in you nostrils are there to catch foreign objects so that they do not go in your lungs. if you have a lot of boogers when you wake up, it might be because your room might need a little more dusting.

Funny. Comes from both outside and in. If you are a nose-breather when you sleep, all that stuff you normally snuff out when you are awake kinda builds up in your snout when you are asleep and you can't blow it out of course. Oh the humanity. Might be living in a polluted environment which makes things worse. By the way, do you smoke?

Your nose hairs and mucous membranes are doing an excellent job of filtering out 8 hours worth of dust in the air while you sleep.

You probably don't have any furnace or A/C running right now, because of moderate temperatures, so there is no air circulating and filtering out the air in the house, so there is more dust in the house.

You have a ileocecal valve that produces mucus. Possibly it is working over time. If your climate is really dry your mucus in your
nose will be very dry besides .
