Humans produce 1-2 liters of mucus daily, which is swallowed unconsciously. This mucus moisturizes airways, traps dust and microbes, and is broken down by the digestive system. Inflammation can double mucus production. Excess mucus not swallowed exits the nose as snot, and can increase significantly during infections or irritations.
