Yuk, that grosses me out too. Perhaps you could ask your HR person. Sometimes they can be like an intermediary in situations that might be uncomfortable.

Or, perhaps if you see this person, you could casually say something like: "Sounds like you have a pretty nasty cold. I have found that the kleenexes with aloe in them are more soothing to my nose than others, and my nose doesn't get as red from blowing. Have you tried them?"
