A member asked:

Nasal mucus traps virus in the air, right? so, if a tiny bit of such mucus accidentally gets in my mouth while blowing my nose, i may get infected?

No risk, no worry: Swallowed nasal mucus doesn't increase infection risk. In fact, it's impossible to avoid: nasal fluids naturally move down the throat and are swallwed all the time. You can't avoid it and no harm comes.
