Head to Toe tidbits of informations about gross body stuff.
Eye Boogers
Eye boogers are formed from rheum, which is a natural discharge of your eye. Boogies are rheum mixed with dust and dead skin cells.
Snot and boogers.
Your nose makes about a quart of mucus everyday. Boogers are clumps of dirt and other airborn bits (i.e. germs, pollen, etc...) that get caught in the mucus in your nose. Try not to pick them, even though it feels so good.
Ear wax
Also called cerumen, ear wax lubricates, cleans and protects the inner ear. Why is it that all the funky stuff secreted by our bodies there for protection?
Belly button lint. Gross.
I just learned that belly button lint consists of clothing fibers, hair and dead skin cells. But.. more "importantly", it seems that the lint come from fibers, etc. below the belly button and are transported, via belly hair, up and in. Gross.
Toenail fungus.. dry heave.
Apparently, Vicks salve treats toenail fungus. Just in case you were wondering.
