People with Cystic Fibrosis are not "drowning in their own mucus." They underproduce mucus, not overproduce it. They are drowning in phlegm.

  drowning in mucus vs. drowning in phlegm is still drowning isn't it? pretty pedantic.

    No, it's really not. It is a major key to solving it. Not "The" key, because there are a few pieces to the puzzle. But it is a really major detail.

      > It is a major key to solving it The average person is not solving it. And the average person isn't going to go, "oh it's phlegm, I only donate to mucus-related causes"?
