However if you succumb to a cold, which has got into your body, as in system, the reaction to get rid of shorty, sorry bug, the over production of mucus making it easier to expel and foreign bodies living in your nose, throat, or lungs, hence the snott, cough, phlegm.............

Our lungs and nasal passages are lined with mucus membranes to keep dirt and particulates from entering our lungs, so that we can all breathe easier. The mucus is thick and captures any small particles from entering the lungs.
