How does snot develop?
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.
