Where does the mucus in your nose come from?

Answer 1

Boogers or mostly known as mucus is made by the same secretions as your eyes. Ever notice that when you cry or have tears that a runny nose follows? This is because your eyes, ears and nose are all conected. The tears can drain into your nose and throat. Your Sinus cavity can also make this mucus which is why when you have a sinus infection, your nose gets all congested.

Answer 2

Snot comes from mucus membranes that line the inside of your nose. The membranes secrete mucus in order to protect you from dust, germs, and pollen. The snot traps all this nasty stuff so it doesn't get into your lungs.
