Where does all my snot come from after a cold?

I’ve been sick for about a week and I’m just now healing up. Why is it that I’m able to blow out gallons of snot every 5 minutes? Where is that coming from?

Mucus is made from the mucins in goblet cells but ultimately it’s made up of mostly water, and your body is 70% water. It’s like making tea. Ultimately tea is mostly made up of water so as long as you have water and a few tea leaves you can make tea. Essentially you’re not going to run out of snot.
