I'm a non-smoker with chronic sinus infections that have no environmental cause. why am i getting black streaks in my mucus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
From the sinus inf: Consult an allergist/immunologist as well as an ENT to find out the cause. The streaks in your mucus may be from old blood from the infection and possibly from a fungal sinusitis.
