Bite & Collect Toenail Clippings
So, would you be considered a hoarder if you found yourself collecting everybody’s baby teeth? LOL, or every chainsaw you came in contact with, or better yet, how about fingernails and toenails over the years? For instance, Carol Vaugn, 65 from Birmingham, UK, has an impressive collection of more than 5,000 bars of soap from all over the world. She’s been collecting soap bars since 1991. That one doesn’t sound as bazar as toenails, though. There’s a particular trio of folks with 30,000 toenail clippings!!!! Should they be burned at the stake, observed for the purpose of science or committed to an institution, or should we just ignore them? So evidently their weird collection of toenail clippings is actually intended for medical research. Really, yawl???????
As I’m researching toenails, my face is cringing, but I can’t give up now, I’m already knee deep. Are you a nail biter? Nail biting may have an association with oral problems, such as gingival injury, and malocclusion of the anterior teeth. It can also transfer pinworms or bacteria buried under the surface of the nail from the anus region to the mouth. It’s a no brainer that swallowing bitten-off nails would cause stomach problems if you do it on a regular basis.
Your toenail natural color can tell your doctor a lot about your overall health. A fungal infection often causes thickened yellow toenails. Thick, yellow nails also can be a sign of an underlying disease, including lymphedema – swelling related to the lymphatic system, lung problems, psoriasis, or rheumatoid arthritis. This blog turned into a nice mini “did you know” blog instead of collecting toenails to make an engagement ring for your finance’ like an unnamed man did in Japan. I bet she was elated.
