Hello,
The bottom of the air is cool, and inevitably, if you are lucky (depending on your constitution), you have a runny nose.
It is indeed a chance.
Let's drop a drop on a preparation slide, let dry at room temperature, and observe. You will get arabesque crystals.
(Mucus is a viscous gel mainly made up of water, proteins, glycoproteins, lipids, and salts).
Good walks in the morning mist if that tempts you.
Regards,
Didier

The gold and maroon one could be worked up into a very nice upholstery fabric!

That is interesting - snot is partly made up of dead white blood cells, but never seen it crystallized before.
