Body responses that you hate

Your nose is lined with mucous for the purpose of trapping dust and germs. They stick to the mucous and therefore don't end up in your lungs. When you're sick, you've got more germs finding your way into there, so your body produces more mucous to trap them. However, it produces so much mucous that it makes it hard to breath, and you have to blow it out.

Also, when you get a fever, it makes you feel like crap, however it makes germs feel even crappier. Your body heats itself up to the point where it makes it difficult to function, but alo make sit difficult for bacteria to function. Your immune system doesn't mind running a little bit hot, though, and will easily pick off the weakened germs.

Yeah, fever and a running nose are defense mechanisms against infection.

what about... when you have stomach pains, and instead of ejecting thru the mouth.... it explodes out the other end? :disgust::Q

Your body makes it hard to breathe because it knows the air around you is not healthy and germ infected. It lowers the air intake purposely, and the air it does allot in it screens meticulously in the nose with hair, mucus and skin. If germs are found it captures them and then expels the germs (you sneeze, cough, your nose runs, etc).

It is an amazing system, some would leave you to believe this complex system all happened by chance... right...

Hehe...I created the name at a time when I was under so much stress that I was tearing up my own stomach and making myself sick all the time. It kind of stuck (the name, not the illnesses).

Agreed. Gas pain is the worst, hands down.
