That's a fair point. I get mucus in my nose still not never those dry buggers.

True story. I never get buggers anymore when eating real unprocessed foods. The only time I experience them is after I have fast food which is rare. So a handful of times at year and I had them frequently growing up when eating processed food.

Based on this I think they are mostly additives that are unnatural to humans and not being able to use them/break them down our body makes buggers around them.

Nothing online that I see points to our shity food being the cause but I've proved it for myself dozens of times.

Funny story I know.
