I do still eat meat, could that be a problem? 
its possible, the wax looks more mucus oriented like its fighting and infection. i know as a child i ate alot of meat and always had plenty of snots to blow out, i remember in class just blowing snots all over my sweat shirt it was so bad , tons and tons of mucus related to meat and sore throats as well. the worst was when i went to sleep as a kid. its my guess its from the meat.
im not saying to go vegetarian but you need to cleane out your system with alot of beans and beneficial whole fruit like grapefruit since it promotes good digestion health, same with beans
