Yes! In fact, swallowing mucus can even cause you to throw up. If you have mucus in your system, try to cough or spit it out.
It lubricates the esophagus and assists in swallowing.
He/She is sick & swallowing it. It is normal.
No, swallowing mucus does not typically result in it being excreted in feces. Mucus is broken down and digested in the stomach like other food substances.
The benefits are a small amount of protein and glucose. Other than that there are no harmful effects of swallowing semen.
You. Can. Lick it.
Saliva provides water and mucus and makes chewing and swallowing easier .
Boogers, or nasal mucus, are formed when the mucus lining of the nasal passages traps dust, dirt, bacteria, and other particles in the air that we breathe. The mucus then dries out and hardens, forming what we commonly refer to as boogers. Swallowing this mucus is a normal bodily process that helps to protect the respiratory system from harmful particles.
The main purpose of mucus is to keep the body lubricated and to prevent tiny particles from entering. Stomach mucus exists to protect the lining of the stomach from the acid which it produces.
Saliva is made up of an enzyme called ptyalin and mucus. This moistens our food and makes the swallowing easier.

Boogers don't really have any benefits. Boogers are the results of the benefits of snot (mucus) in your nose. Dust particles get trapped in the moist mucus, dry and become boogers. Boogers are then expelled via 'blowing your nose' and the dirt particles are removed, never reaching your lower respiratory system (lungs). Without mucus (and boogers) you would have more dirt (and other particulates) in your lungs and be at higher risk of infection and other diseases.
