When youcatch a cold, you could expect your nose to either get super stuffy or start to run.
If it runs, the mucus that makes its way out of your nose can be quite colorful.
Whether yourealize it or not, your body is constantly manufacturing mucus.
In fact, it produces up to 1.5 quarts of the liquid daily (perHealthline).
But so why the different colors?
According toWebMD, a common misperception is that color in mucus results from bacteria.
In fact, colorful mucus means the body is fighting.
Mucus is normally clear and colorless with a thin consistency.
White mucus indicates the presence of moreimmunecells (viaVery Well Health).
And then, there’s the yellow stuff.
