The following submission statement was provided by /u/Leprechan_Sushi:
A lubricant derived from the mucus of cow salivary glands has shown promise at preventing the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and a herpes virus from infecting healthy human cells.
Mucus is a protective gel that lubricates the epithelial tissues that cover our organs and line our body cavities, as well as acting as a first line of defence against microorganisms. The main component of mucus, a protein called mucin, may have antiviral properties.

This might make you feel better. It's the same kind of mucus that's inside your body lining your organs. It's already intrinsically a part of the immune system anyway.
