WHAT DOES RHEUMY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Rheum

Rheum is thin mucus naturally discharged as a watery substance from the eyes, nose or mouth during sleep. Rheum dries and gathers as a crust in the corners of the eyes or mouth, on the eyelids, or under the nose. It is formed by a combination of mucus, nasal mucus, blood cells, skin cells, or dust. Rheum from the eyes is particularly common. Dried rheum is in common usage called sleep, sleepers, sleeping sand, crusty, eye gunk, sleepydust,gozagareema,optigoop, sleepy boogers, eye discharge, eye goop, eye crud, eye jelly, eye crust, eye bogeys, eye boogers, eye-sand, cockapia, optical crustaceans, blinker smudge, sleepy dirt, sleepy seeds, bug dust, etc. When the individual is awake, blinking of the eyelid causes rheum to be washed away with tears via the nasolacrimal duct. The absence of this action during sleep, however, results in a small amount of dry rheum accumulating in corners of the eye, most notably in children. A number of conditions can cause an increase in the production of rheum in the eye.
