All the particulates it's stopping is going right into the mucus.

What I'm not sure of is whether the black mucus happens because of pollution or something else.

Plus, it is contaminated by mucus of varying amounts and thicknesses.

The whole point of the nasal passages and mucus is to filter the air, the good thing about this filter is that it's easy to replace.

I came to realize that the primary cause is not stress or excess spicy food, but a particular stomach bacteria, H. Pylori, going rogue and attacking the mucus lining of the stomach that protects underlying tissue from the strong acid [1]. For this discovery, Drs.
