[7] As snare, noose, and net, signify such things, they also signify the destruction of the spiritual life, and thus perdition; for the delights of these loves are what destroy and lead into perdition, because, as before said, all evils spring from these loves.
Diarrhea is generally a sign of intestinal distress, and the presence of mucus only further complicates the condition. Irritable bowel syndrome can cause stomach pain as well as mucus in diarrhea. Obstructions or growths in the intestines can be a source of mucus in diarrhea. Prolonged diarrhea may cause dehydration. Recurring incidences of mucus in diarrhea should be examined by a health care professional.
Parasites such as Giardia lamblia and cryptosporidium can cause diarrhea. Common bacterial causes of diarrhea include campylobacter, salmonella, shigella and Escherichia coli. Diarrhea caused by bacteria and parasites can be common when traveling in developing countries and is often called traveler's diarrhea.
