Mr. Kintobotnik files the SCAS into Brooke's right nostril. He pilots it passed the nasal hairs and stopped a bit until we see some of her mucus.
"Today, we are going to learn about the nose's defenses!” he excitedly tells us. "We already talked about how the nasal hairs worked, so we're moving on to how mucus works."
He dives the SCAS into some mucus. In it are dead skin cells, some runaway flu viruses, some bacteria, yellow fluff balls, and tiny bugs.
"As you can see,” he teaches, “the mucus in Brooke's nose function the same as her nasal hair, and that is to catch any intruders."
"Mr. Kintobotnik?” asked Chester. “What are those bugs? And what's the yellow stuff?"
"That yellow stuff is pollen. It must be coming from the school garden” answered Mr. Kintobotnik. “As for the bugs, they are dust mites. They feed off the skin cells we shed.”
Some dust mites swim in Brooke's mucus while others aren't budging.
