You have mites living in your eyelashes.
I’m locked in here with them. They’re locked in here with me!
You don’t know me
I wonder what types of parasites dinosaurs had. Guess we’ll never know
A lot of poop is dead bacteria by volume.
Cool call me death pooper
Newborn baby girls can experience a phenomenon called “false menses” or “mini-periods” due to a sudden drop in maternal estrogen after birth, causing slight vaginal bleeding or a blood-tinged discharge that typically lasts only a few days.
Our noses have erectile tissue.

Conchae are lined by pseudostratified columnar, ciliated respiratory epithelium with a thick, vascular, and erectile glandular tissue layer.

It’s not uncommon to have a sneeze reflex when aroused.

Penises.
People are very aware of those. Many have them, and many of those who have them are all too willing to share them.
Yeah, but have you considered; penises?
Hmm.
There’s a type of cyst called dermoid cyst which can grow hair, nails or even teeth inside it.
I had heard of that but didn’t know the name and forgot about it
That sounds like an infinite money glitch. Sell the teeth and hair, rinse and repeat.
Enough to be gross, too little to be profitable. Wonder what kind of teeth it grows, maybe you could use them as spares.
Exploiting the generosity of the tooth fairy beyond normal limits.
My wife had one of these, only spotted after they saw the teeth in an x-ray.
All that but we can’t grow new teeth in our mouths. What’s up with that, nature?
Just get a dermoid cyst on your gums and hope it grows teeth!
The Monkey paw curls, you now grow hairs in your mouth.
Like a baleen whale!
I read this as demonoid cyst which might be a better name.
There are more cells in your body that aren’t you, than are.
The count of bacterial cells in your gut, on your skin etc is higher than the number of your own cells.
A ratio of 3:1 to 1.3:1
I’ve always found this interesting. Human beings (or any vertebrates I suppose) are really more of a colony than a single being. And it’s not just a technicality, it’s meaningful. Much of that colony interacts with your nervous system and affects your moods and behavior. You think you have total control of your mind, but you would think and act differently with a different balance of gut bacteria. Chew on that for a while…
This is one of the scientific plot holes in The Fly. Or at least the 1980s version. The head-swap version has other problems.
I think one’s microbiome has more mass than one’s brain too. So… who is really doing the thinking?
My brain hasn’t that’s for sure
Men too can produce milk.
Don’t many things need to go wrong during fetal development for that? The mammary tissue is usually completely destroyed by birth in men.
well yeah but you have to have a baby first.
Like Arnold Schwartzeneggar!
We know, but we call it milk as a joke. It’s not actually milk.
Why is that disgusting?
Because “Father’s Milk” hits different.
I’m squeezing like hell and it isn’t working.
When fertile, women have significantly increased mucus volume in their vaginas.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervix
Several hundred glands in the endocervix produce 20–60 mg of cervical mucus a day, increasing to 600 mg around the time of ovulation.
The real gross fact is that cervical mucus, during ovulation, has the same consistency as egg whites and can be whipped.
To anyone with a vagina, this is def not an unknown fact hahaha. And gross is debatable but to each their own
To anyone with a long term partner that has a vagina it’s hardly news either.
I mean. I did not know it was called mucus.
I, a vagina-haver, had no idea until a Catholic friend in college mentioned NFP. The secular Fertility Awareness resources I ended up finding all supported my impression this isn’t widely known. That was twenty years ago, though, maybe young people these days are more body-aware?
Agree it isn’t really gross, I think it’s cool, but it seemed gross-adjacent enough I could get away with sharing in this thread.
For the uninitiated, NFP is Natural Family Planning - the practice of avoiding coitus during ovulation as a form of birth control. It’s seen as a natural form of birth control compared to artificial birth control in the form of condoms and the pill.
It’s strange to me that the Catholic Church singles out birth control as needing to be natural, but not much else.
It’s around 75% effective at preventing pregnancies, but doesn’t stop STIs obviously.

A fun addition to this fact is that vaginal secretions are made from modified plasma. Like that stuff in your blood.
So TECHNICALLY women don’t just bleed for their period.
ear wax tastes slightly bitter.
You can develop a rectourinal fistula and end up pissing shit
This is the first comment on my post that actually makes me feel uncomfortable.
Annnd thread closed.
One hole for everything! A pseudo-cloaca :3
A rectovaginal fistula is fun too. Imagine having a mix of period blood and poop exiting your vagina.
Imma have to tell you to stop doing everything you’re doing immediately.
If you feed a latex tube through the nose and out the mouth then pull it back and forth, it makes a squeaking sound
That’s not how you floss.
It’s actually called mental floss :)
That’s not how you floss.
squeaky squeaky squeaky
Hej, I think its pretty cool how much slime we got producet in our bodies every day, like up to 1 liter! Me, personally, find it gross dat our noses produce that many bacteria, lol.
This works great with @Nomad@infosec.pubs tip regarding the flexibility of our tongues.
Btw, the noses (so called becherocells) just create the slime (glycoproteins) to catch and bind bacteria entering from the outside, they (luckily) don’t create bacteria on their own.
Teeth, or rather where they meet your skull and jaw, are technically classified as a kind of joint!
You can eat anything that comes out of your own or anyone else’s body to increase your power level.
