Description

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic (inherited) sickness that causes sticky, thick mucus to accumulate in organs, which include your lungs and pancreas. In case you don't have CF, the mucus that strains organs and body cavities, which includes your lungs and nose, is slippery and watery. If you do have CF, thick mucus clogs the airlines and makes it difficult to respire. Mucus moreover blocks the ducts in the pancreas, inflicting problems with digesting meals.
