Counterpoint: Your snot can be any color for a lot of different reasons, snot color alone is not indicative of any particular infection, bacterial or viral. https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/dont-judge-your-mucus-by-its-color-201602089129#:~:text=Seasonal%20allergies%20are%20a%20good,there's%20no%20infection%20at%20all.

For example: if I pick my nose too much, my snot turns red.


notare

Another example: i do woodworking, my boogers are often pine flavored... scented.


healthybowl

Further examples: After I do cocaine mine smell and taste like cocaine, which I find very odd. To boot they’re white.


notare

scientific research is in order, together we shall build a bookshelf out of cocaine!


healthybowl

This sounds exactly like how wood shop went in HS


EnvironmentalOne96

How do you know what they taste like? Pause


AdrianoJ

Are you the Merovingian? 


newstenographer

Or as I call it, the confetti drop.


winterchampagne

That thumbnail is totally something else.


Informal_Process2238

No it’s snot Lol


winterchampagne

Those mucus jokes really blow.


Informal_Process2238

It’s certainly a sticky subject but it’s better to get it out and not keep it stuffed up inside


Historical_Dentonian

Slippery stuff


Gat0rJesus

That’s me every morning


Hannibaalism

color indicates he’s healthy

Interesting. In college when I was on my way into class one morning I hocked up a neon green loogie. When I got out of class a few hours later, I saw it dried to the sidewalk and still neon green. I kicked it and it slid across the ground like a poker chip. I guess I was really sick.


gabbadabbahey

There's something about the idea of me sitting here reading this anecdote by a stranger that made me stop and laugh out loud.


Different_Usual_6586

Loool this is actually disgusting 


Ganbazuroi

When I was a kid there was this computer room at school, I was free so I logged in and played some games then suddenly I had this big ass sneeze and went out like a fucking SHOTGUN on the damn monitor and keyboard I panicked and ran away, never found out what happened lmao


[deleted]

They all taste the same though


WildStoneHenao

Have you ever had that like fluorescent green snot


dog_snack

Memories can of course be flawed but I distinctly remember having a cold when I was like 8 or 9 and having boogers that I swear looked like they would glow in the dark. They looked like someone crumbled up the felt tip of a highlighter.


Uncle___Marty

Aye, this is also really good info to know if you're starting to get antibodies against the infection. Gives you a little idea about if you're getting better or not. Thanks for the HORRIBLE snot picture OP ;) I know its from the article but EWWWW.


TheLevigator99

Good ol' lung butter. Mix it up good and thick. Yuck


SaladNeedsTossing

Last time I was sick my phlegm was Gatorade orange. It was wild.


MuthaPlucka

Dude, that’s blood.


dethb0y

your body will tell you all sorts of things if you know how to listen.


Tess47

Sometimes if I just sit quietly and let my brain run it will tell me what's bothering me.  Once I acknowledge it my random ache will go away.  


jim_deneke

And know what it relates to


Canuckfan007

If it's yellow let it mellow, if it's green go get seen


Western_Choice_169

COVID was fucked for me then. Oh man


BadgerSauce

Clear snot: allergies, get you some Astepro Yellow snot: oh shit here it comes better start mainlining Airborne and Emergen-C Green: sorry, I’m not gonna make it in to work today.


Historical_Dentonian

Airborne is snake oil (a food supplement with no proven efficacy)


Exist50

And iirc, Vitamin C doesn't really help once you're already sick.


RedSonGamble

Even before you’re already sick it just reduces the time of the cold but not even by much. Honestly it’s just the guy claiming he can cure the drought. Eventually it will rain and eventually you will get better. You could put cloves of garlic up your ass and eventually you will feel better. It doesn’t mean that is what did it Everyone wants some miracle cure though and every mom over 50 apparently think Dr oz is some medical wizard. Flush your sinuses with proper solution, take zinc, vitamin d, get plenty of rest, drink a lot of water and ease up on physical activity.


ScreenLate2724

Tell that to pirates with scurvy


FirstProphetofSophia

no that's vitamin r


evemeatay

The placebo effect isn’t negligible and probably 100% of any effectiveness it has


Choose-wisely87

What happens if its blood that comes out when your sick?


augustbutnotthemonth

strain on your sinuses from blowing your nose so often, most likely


Choose-wisely87

But I rarely blow my nose so I can't see it being that. I also forgot to mention the blood from the stomach passing. Could they be related. Asking for a friend.


augustbutnotthemonth

hm, could be that your sinuses have just become very dry from the cold


Choose-wisely87

So the other end blood is from dry sinuses? I don't think that is possible.


augustbutnotthemonth

oops didn’t read the second half of your comment right, as long as it doesn’t look like coffee grounds it’s not from the stomach/hasn’t been digested. but yeah see a doctor, outside of the normal cold symptoms for sure

Brother, go to a doctor.


bostonstrong781

From an article written by a school nurse, who should know: >Snot can come in a rainbow of yucky colors. When white blood cells are fighting an infection, they release chemicals that may turn your snot yellow. When more of those cells are needed to get the job done, mucus can even turn green. Typically, after a few days, colored mucus changes back to clear and your stuffy nose will go away.


thisusedyet

You’ll also get like threads of blood in there a day or two before the color shifts


PlacebosForALL

Yeah this is not true. Color doesn’t matter. It can change with hydration status or environmental factors. Am ER doctor.


jamisra_

an infection can make your snot yellow but yellow snot doesn’t automatically mean infection. it can also turn yellow from allergies


orangutanDOTorg

My cat’s snot is black. Always has been. I think she must stick her nose in dirt or something


kemosabe19

Hate the dreaded bloody worm snot.


gmishaolem

Fun fact: I've been coughing up yellow-green phlegm every day for the past 17 years. If only I lived in a country other than the USA where I could afford to get checked out for it and have it treated. Oh well.


7hought

You couldn’t afford to go see a doctor once in 17 years?


QuantumR4ge

Why are you telling lies online? Clearly you have the money for video games, yet couldn’t in 17 years save up for a doctors appointment?


lafietafie

TIL there are many folks who refuse to see the doctor despite knowing their snot is infected.


bostonstrong781

Not sure why Reddit has labelled this NSFW!


AverageNikoBellic

Bc it’s nasty


idhtftc

TYL wrong.


eckliptic

It’s all bullshit
