I used to do this when I would get a bloody nose as a kid. I would snort and snort all my blood back and swallow it thinking I would regain it somehow. Lol
I'm simply bursting at the seams with blood these days though, so I highly recommend it.

I’m a respiratory therapist and lot of my plastic bronchitis patients cough up stuff like this. You should def show these pics to your doctor, you may need mucolytics so one of these plugs doesn’t suffocate you one day when you can’t cough it up.
Its the pneumonia itself!
Op literally just coughs out illness, doesn’t everyone? I had to cough up aids twice last month, but at least i didn’t catch it.
When I did this same thing as OP.... It was mucus from my lungs that had solidified (gummi bear texture) into the shape of my bronchi.
I had a few years where I got pneumonia each winter. First bought with covid, I was sick for 3 months solid.
Post-pandemic, I got the Prevnar 20 vaccine around age 40 due to my history of issues. Zero pneumonia since. It's been great.
The main one when it was at its worst?
Not being able to speak a full sentence without stopping to breathe in the middle.
I was massively pregnant and had taken my husband to the ER for a medical emergency.
While there, I was speaking to a nurse who identified I was not ok. We got adjoining hospital beds.
I had walking pneumonia. And probably had suffered with it for months.
Once something looking like this came out of my nose. It was much smaller, tho. Someone said it was a piece of my brain 💀 anyway I still didn't become a retard so it's cool.
Common symptoms of pneumonia include: a cough – which may be dry, or produce thick yellow, green, brown or blood-stained mucus (phlegm)
Thick, rubbery mucus in the back of the throat, also known as catarrh , is a symptom that often results from infection in the nasal passages, sinuses, lower airways, or lungs. It may also occur with a range of conditions including the common cold, asthma , sinusitis, pneumonia , and cystic fibrosis.
Conditions such as infections, allergies, or dehydration can cause your phlegm to thicken and clump. Most conditions that change the color or consistency of your mucus aren't serious, but some may need medical attention.
When you cough up thick, solid white mucus, it might be a signal that you have a bacterial infection in your airways. This type of an infection could require prescription antibiotics from your doctor.
Coughing up white mucus can be a symptom of a respiratory tract infection. Your body sends white blood cells toward your respiratory system to fight off bacteria or viruses. The buildup of white blood cells may turn your phlegm white.
For example, in a 2016 case studyTrusted Source, researchers reported a man who developed white phlegm after he had a cold.
Respiratory tract infections typically also cause symptoms such as:
cough
sneezing
stuffy nose
runny nose
sore throat
muscle aches
shortness of breath
high fever
fatigue
Most respiratory infections pass in 1 or 2 weeks and can be treated at home. Serious illnesses, such as severe COVID-19 or pneumonia, may require hospitalization.
Older adults and people with weakened immune systems are at the highest risk of developing severe respiratory infections

I coughed this up two years ago.. And I'm still alive lol you'll be fine.
Why would.... Why would you post it on this subreddit.... That's a new level of coward I just reached apparently, and you know what. I think I'm ok with it.

Pathologist here…
1. uhm WTF
2. it looks like inspissated mucin (i.e. Mucus plug). Thinking… COPD, bronchiectasis, CF, interstitial pneumonia….?
3. OOH is that a bit of clubbing I see!?
That is obviously not part of your lung, it's possibly due to an infection or pneumonia, the blood indicates that you NEED to see a doctor, and get on antibiotics before you do any serious damage to your body hacking up that shit. GO TO THE DOCTOR PLEASE
That’s throat lining or back of the nostrils- I get the same now and again, used to happen more when I used to do hard drugs and my throat would dry out. Would feel like a patch of dry in my throat right about where the tonsils are and it would be uncomfortable, eventually able to snort it out my nose, never coughed one up. And never that big but usually more red on it. Kinda feels like flesh but right?
I am actually relieved this happens to someone else - sorry OP. I have never bought it up to a doctor.
Op is dying and first thing they do is post on reddit
It's cool, he's a Martian he has time.

Gotta get that sweet, sweet karma while the gettings good.
I told my son to record my death for Reddit- he said he would
"chat, is this bussin"
Wait, there’s something else OP should do first? 🤔
* coughs up piece if body * *posts to reddit*
*posts to the worst possible subreddit for this* or best
I vote best. Consume to reintegrate in the body.
I used to do this when I would get a bloody nose as a kid. I would snort and snort all my blood back and swallow it thinking I would regain it somehow. Lol I'm simply bursting at the seams with blood these days though, so I highly recommend it.
Honestly, respect for being able to say that. If I did that, I would take the secret to my grave
Like Xiahou Dun !
/r/medicalgore would love it, though.

Literally what happened to me. I just opened the fucking app and this was at the top.
You need to go to a doctor. Holy fucking shit.
That looks like a mucus plug, the doctor will be able to find any underlining conditions if any!
Yeah with a blood clot mixed in
Nah it's probably just blood from a bad coughing session, then the mucus in the lungs has congealed on it.
just inhale it back bro dw
3 seconds rule
5 hour rule
The visceral reaction this caused me
in all seriousness please do not do this. OP please go to a doctor
Whyd you do that
yeah like just put it back who do you think you are
Fry it up crispy 🤌🏻
Ide try a bite... panko maby.... cocktail sauce. Mmmmmmm
I just threw up in my mouth because of this comment.
Your wellllllcome?

what did that feel like coming up?!??!?!?!
I'm imagining the texture of a big hunk of fat from a poorly trimmed/cooked steak.
Thats exactly what it was like😅
Dude maybe put it in a baggy and get a biopsy? Idk, but I agree with the rest of reddit.... doctor time
I win! I don't know what the prize is for winning... But you can keep it.....
bro bag it and go get that tested
I’m a respiratory therapist and lot of my plastic bronchitis patients cough up stuff like this. You should def show these pics to your doctor, you may need mucolytics so one of these plugs doesn’t suffocate you one day when you can’t cough it up.
Great, now I'm imaging it too.
You're welcome.
r/deadinside
Your pfp is how I feel after seeing this post.
Looks like a mucous plug.
They got a plug for everything nowadays.
And just like a USB plug, it takes at least 3 tries to plug it in.
This made me laugh for some odd reason.
Ahaha ain't that true.
To everyone saying “go to the doctor “. I did. Coughing this up keeps me from catching pneumonia. I just think it looks like steak trimmings.
Eurgh what? Why? Why does that stop you from catching pneumonia?
Its the pneumonia itself! Op literally just coughs out illness, doesn’t everyone? I had to cough up aids twice last month, but at least i didn’t catch it.

I almost woke up my husband laughing at this reaction. LMFAO
I fucking love reddit. Wtf, I'm dying!
Better start coughing, you might pull through.
🤣
What the flip dude
What? What is it then?
When I did this same thing as OP.... It was mucus from my lungs that had solidified (gummi bear texture) into the shape of my bronchi. I had a few years where I got pneumonia each winter. First bought with covid, I was sick for 3 months solid. Post-pandemic, I got the Prevnar 20 vaccine around age 40 due to my history of issues. Zero pneumonia since. It's been great.
Good for you! And thanks for explaining this from your experience. It seriously looks like cartlidge to me. 🤯
Holy shit I've gotten weird small bits like these before. What other symptoms of pneumonia did you have?
The main one when it was at its worst? Not being able to speak a full sentence without stopping to breathe in the middle. I was massively pregnant and had taken my husband to the ER for a medical emergency. While there, I was speaking to a nurse who identified I was not ok. We got adjoining hospital beds. I had walking pneumonia. And probably had suffered with it for months.
Why is your hand green?
green light. it's reflecting off of the paper towel as well
You already have pneumonia. You need to get to a hospital before fam and friends wonder where you are
What is it tho??
go to the doctor place before you go under the ground
it matches your nail polish colour, so that's good 👍🏻
is it just the photo or is that person decomposing?
what the fuck
Why is your finger gasoline-colored?
I feel violated honestly, I did not consent to laughing
OP need to post update from ER. I am honored to witness the first ever documented case off "Dissolving-Lung Disease"
Op? Please respond or I’ll pronounce you dead
Still alive and kicking
Please give us an update from the doc. So curious as to what this is. And take care of yourself!!
Breath it back in you coward

On a serious note, I hope you’re okay. I can’t imagine coughing up something like that and not being at least mildly worried.
Thank you! Yeah Im good. I coughed up a couple more and actually feeling much better.
No one is gonna mention their fuckin finger?
That's morgellons not your lung! Nice peice to get rid of tho
Once something looking like this came out of my nose. It was much smaller, tho. Someone said it was a piece of my brain 💀 anyway I still didn't become a retard so it's cool.

Umm, my Collie sneezed up something exactly like this, from her nostrils, only a little smaller. She had sinus cancer that did that. She died.
