Why do you get a snotty nose if you get cold?

Answer 1

When you have cold you have snot why well the reason for that is because when you breath in the air sometimes the air contains bad germs but your hairs in your nose traps it but sometimes the germs can go in you respiratory system. The germs start growing in your nose, throat and lungs. You have a cold!

However........

snot is another word for muces (mu-u-cus) Mucus is so important that it's found all over nature. Inside your nose, it's a thick, sticky, wet pudding-like gunk that coats your skin and hairs. Mucus is made by, mucus membranes. Your body has mucus membranes in all sorts of places: the stomach, intestines, nose, lungs, eyes, mouth, and the urinary tract all contain mucus membranes that secrete mucus. For now, we will "pick the nasal membranes and mucus" as our topic of interest. Mucus becomes very important with every breath that you take.

Each time that you take a breath, there are three very important things that happen.

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.
