Currently running a self-test regarding what volume of #mucus my body can produce on a daily basis.
Seriously folks: the #flu currently active in #Switzerland ain't no joke. Three days in, and the start of the year could hardly have been a lot more miserable. So do it like the folks in Asia: put on a facial mask if you have to go shopping, it's called #consideration.

What are the tests used to differentiate between pre-ejaculate and clear nasal mucous?

#Mucus is more than just a sticky substance: It contains a wealth of powerful molecules called mucins that help to tame #microbes and prevent #infection. In a new study, MIT researchers have identified mucins that defend against #AbbreviationsSalmonella and other #bacteria that cause diarrhea.

Should You Spit Or Swallow Mucus? Here’s What An Expert Says
Pustile Mince, seen here gallantly spitting mucus into a cup, and not on us.(Photo by Bermix Studio on Unsplash)
The Daily Isotope researched whether one should spit mucus or swallow it. In our research, we’ve reached out to Pustile Mince, a renowned mucologist and Ig Nobel Prize recipient, who works for The Mucus Clinic of America and Luxembourg.
When we’ve put the question to Mince, she explained “It is better to spit the mucus. Spit mucus finds itself in a hostile environment. I mean, unless you happen to be a champion spitter, and spit it right into the mouth or nose of a loved one, or a pet, or onto a Petri dish.”
She continued, “If you swallow the mucus, well, first of all, ew… What the fuck do you think you’re doing swallowing mucus??? Secondly, the swallowed mucus can organize itself in a colony in your gut, and foment revolution. Nobody wants communist mucus to revolutionize them, do they?”
She ended our interview by spitting mucus on us, as if to prove a point. Our research assistant, an immigrant, grunted while wiping himself, and mumbled something about “first-world problems.”

"marine snow sometimes creates parachute-like mucus structures that effectively double the time the organisms linger in the upper 100 meters of the ocean. This prolonged suspension increases the likelihood of other #microbes breaking down the organic carbon"

This week for @Kitty #TuneTuesday @derthomas gave us a theme of "The Opener."
It probably was a local act like #Mucus #AgainstTheGrain or #BlueDirt in a venue like De Sloep.. not sure.
The first festival i've attended was #Waterpop in '93.
#RadioHead was the headliner, i rember watching #MTV that evening and #Creep was on.
A Dutch band that played (and still does) was #HalloVenray
#HenkKoorn is a big inspiration for my singing. Maybe that seed was sown that day?

"#Corals, specifically the #Acropora species, regularly spew #bacteria-filled #mucus into the sea to defend against environmental and biological stressors. The mucus can trap and carry particles, energy, and large amounts of organic matter throughout the #ocean."
Humans produce an average of 1.5 liters of mucus a day, and swallow most of it.
