Snot, or mucus, is produced by cells in the nasal passages and helps to trap particles like dust and germs. When these cells are irritated, such as by a cold or allergies, they produce more mucus, which can lead to an increase in snot production. The body then works to clear this excess mucus through sneezing, blowing the nose, or drainage down the back of the throat.
Mucus prevents the inner lining of stomach from being digested by secretions such as HCl which is released in a highly concentrated form by gastric glands and from other enzymes too.If mucus layer breaks then digestive enzymes begin to digest the inner wall of stomach and can develop holes.This condition is known is Ulcer.
The correct spelling is "mucus."
