You don't want to know this. Don't read it either. Just click away quickly. Are you still there, you little dirty bird? Good. You've been warned. Hair, blood, stomach acids, snot; there's a lot to learn about our human body. Yuck.

1. Hold on: on average, you swallow 1.5 kilograms of snot a day. You’re welcome.

2. Maybe you would have preferred not to know this either, but there are more bacteria in your mouth than there are people in the world. Swallow...

3. Okay, first of all: earwax is useful. It keeps fewer particles, bacteria, and fungi from entering our ears. But just the idea that it is produced by earwax glands in the ear canal, plus hairs, dead skin cells, and dirt is HELP.

4. If the acid in your stomach were to come into contact with your skin, it would burn a huge hole...

5. Did you know that if we don't close our eyes while sneezing, there's a chance they could pop out of their sockets?

6. Our skin loses about 600,000 skin particles every hour. If we could collect the particles in a bag, after one year it would easily weigh seven hundred grams. Someone who is 70 years old has already lost 47.6 kilograms of small flakes and scales in their lifetime. Gross...

7. Sweat only starts to smell when it comes to the surface of the skin from the sweat glands. There, bacteria convert the moisture into a substance that smells so characteristic.

8. The vagina is as acidic as a tomato. The vagina has a pH value (acidity) of 4 to 5. That's comparable to beer, tomatoes, and grapes.

9. The lifespan of a human hair is three to seven years. On average, a person loses 60 to 100 hairs a day. But before anyone can see that you are suffering from hair loss, you must first lose more than half of your hair.

10. A fart leaves your backside at a speed of about eleven kilometers per hour. OKAY SORRY bye I'm done.
