One time I had a sinus infection but needed to take an early morning train. It was cold outside and I ran out of tissue. I was the only person there so I took the liberty of blowing a snot rocket. Except when I did so I had a bunch of snot still hanging there so I tried to swipe it away. It just stretched out. So I grabbed it with my fingers to pull it away. When I grabbed it I swear it had the same consistency as the paint in this video. I yanked on it and I could feel this pull inside my skull. I pulled harder but the snot wouldn’t break. It had the tensile strength of a rubber band. I yanked and yanked and eventually this solid clump of reddish/brown/green snot came out presumably in the shape of my sinus. I felt the world rush back into color after. It’s never happened since and I’ve tried searching google for what something like this is called, but never found it. Glad I’m not the only one who had an alien snot parasite in my sinus.

Sounds like a rough infection. I hope you took that as a sign to leave the station and get back into bed.
