I am going to a doctor tomorrow so please don't ***** at me about that. I am just curious why there is green stuff in the cup. I have been hacking up yellow mucus from my throat and I happened to spit it into a cup and less than a week later, this grew. Any ideas?

Reply:What would compel you to spit mucus into a cup and leave it there? Honestly, that has to be one of the most disgusting things I've ever heard.
Reply:Well, you left germ-filled mucus in a cup, of course nasty things are going to grow. Definitely go to the doctor. But the nasty growth is not an indication of what you may have. The fact that you're spitting out colored mucus IS.

Reply:OMG.....why did you even leave it in a cup this long...? But anyways...i have no idea.....
Reply:You might as well ask why bread gets moldy. O_o





Anyway, you probably have a sinus infection, so it's good that you're going to the doctor.
