Edit: I had someone comment one time when I did, and it was kind of weird and embarrassing? But it seemed like a fairly normal thing to do, so I thought I’d ask.

Yeah, kinda helpful in monitoring health.
You won’t find anything unusual 99% of the time, and usually not even when you add .9 with a bunch of extra 9s behind that. But when you do find something, it means you can be proactive in handling it.
Not that everything shows up in mucous that can be wrong with your sinuses, or that things can’t ramp up faster than you can detect a change.
But it’s still useful to check.
If it’s yellow you got some sinusitis, probably need some Sudafed (behind the counter kind) and some neti pot. If it’s green, you may have to go to the Dr to get some antibiotics. If it’s red, you probably need a humidifier and/or some saline mist.
Source for this? My understanding was that usually snot color wasn’t a reliable indicator for anything
