Dumb Q about colds.

I always thought it was germs.. your body gets them out of your blood and puts them in your nose, so if you blow your nose often you're ridding yourself of the sickness.

maybe you should stop slapping yourself on the head 🙂
 
Your nose, mouth and eyes are also obvious entry points for germs. Tears and mucus contain an enzyme (lysozyme) that breaks down the cell wall of many bacteria. Saliva is also anti-bacterial. Since the nasal passage and lungs are coated in mucus, many germs not killed immediately are trapped in the mucus and soon swallowed. Mast cells also line the nasal passages, throat, lungs and skin. Any bacteria or virus that wants to gain entry to your body must first make it past these defenses.

Why don't our bodies make cool defenses like little cells that use mounted laser rockets to repel foreign invaders from the bottom of our noses?

If only I were God...
