Capable of producing or causing mucus secretion or slime formation.
From Greek 'blenna' (mucus) + 'genikos' (producing, generating). The term describes substances or conditions that stimulate mucus production in the body.
The suffix '-genic' literally means 'producing' or 'generating,' so 'blennogenic' means 'mucus-producing'—it's the same root used in 'allergenic' (allergy-producing) and 'carcinogenic' (cancer-producing).
