Cystic fibrosis (CF) mucus is sticky due to a mutation in the CFTR gene, which leads to defective chloride ion transport in epithelial cells. This results in an imbalance of salt and water in mucus secretions, causing them to become thick and viscous. The abnormal mucus traps bacteria and debris, making it difficult for the body to clear them, which contributes to chronic lung infections and respiratory issues in CF patients.
Cádiz CF was created in 1910.
Palamós CF was created in 1898.
Andorra CF was created in 1957.
Mora CF was created in 1977.
Muleño CF was created in 1989.

Cystis fibrosis is when your mucus is thick and sticky.

Mucus is the thin, sticky film produced by the mucous glands.
The sticky fluid produced by the mucous membrane is called mucus. It helps to protect and lubricate the lining of the respiratory, digestive, and reproductive tracts.
Mucus, produced by the body's mucous membranes, is a sticky substance that can trap microbes like bacteria and viruses. This helps to prevent harmful pathogens from entering and infecting the body.
A sticky fluid in your nose could be mucus, which is produced by the mucous membranes lining your nasal passages. Mucus helps to trap dust, dirt, and germs, and is normally clear or slightly white in color. If you have an infection or allergies, your mucus may become thicker and more colored.
CF is genetically inherited. Both parents must be carriers, and then there is a 25% chance of being born with CF. CF causes over secretion of mucus in the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. In the GI tract, too much mucus will impede nutritional absorption. Food will not be available for the body to use for energy and growth. There are enzyme medications which will help break down the mucus and aide in digestion. The extra mucus in the respiratory tract can cause infections, decreased oxygen intake, shortness of breath and a productive cough. There are aerosol medications that can effectively liquefy the mucus on contact.
