mucusesMy head feels so congested... I saw the commercial the other day for Mucinex, and those little green guys, well, that is what I feel like. It has been days now and these little creatures won't leave me alone yet.

I am strongly considering hiring Mucinex to beat these Mucuses.

You can check out all the commercials here.

Of course the wikipedia entry for "mucus" ranks number one in Google.

Mucus is a slippery secretion of the lining of various membranes in the body (mucous membranes). It is a viscous colloid containing antiseptic enzymes (such as lysozyme) and immunoglobulins. Mucus is produced by goblet cells in the mucous membranes that cover the surfaces of the membranes. It is made up of mucins and inorganic salts suspended in water. Phlegm is a type of mucus that is restricted to the respiratory tract, while the term mucus refers to secretions of the nasal passages as well.
