00:00You just stepped outside.
00:02Within 30 seconds, your nose is basically a leaky faucet.
00:11Meet the inside of your nose.
00:13Its main job is warming and humidifying the air before it reaches your lungs.
00:21Cold, dry air is a problem for that job.
00:24So your nose panics and produces extra mucus to add moisture fast.
00:31At the same time, cold air causes the blood vessels inside your nose to swell up, trying to bring in
00:38warmth.
00:41Swollen vessels plus extra mucus production means way more liquid than your nose can hold on to quietly.
00:50So it drips. Constantly. Constantly.
00:55Whether you want it to or not.
01:01It's not a cold. It's not allergies.
01:03It's just your nose doing its actual job a little too enthusiastically.
01:08Hmm.
