Spitting

I've searched a fair bit, excuse me if it's been answered but...I've always had a problem with excessive mucus when swimming. Once I get up to a certain level of exertion, it just flows. I've always felt a little bad about spitting in the gutters, but I can't really help it unless I interrupt my workout. If it matters, I've never once done so in the open pool. Is this terrible and disgusting? My assumption has always been that a certain level of filtration happens between these gutters and the water inlets. Thanks!

    Thanks so much for all the responses. I've considered bringing some sort of container poolside, but the thought of seeing someone fill a container kinda seems even worse, to me at least. (I realize visual revulsion is probably better than potential physical contact...) I've never liked using a nose clip, does that really work to stop stuff from building up in the throat?
