Summary:
8. DIgestive creepiness: This next fact is slightly disturbing and even kind of gross. Believe it or not, there are types of bacteria inside of your stomach that you use to digest food, but after you die those same bacteria will digest you. Well, there goes my sleep for the week.

7. Death from laughter: Did you know that it’s possible to die from laughing too much? There are at least 10 recorded deaths by laughing. It usually happens when the laughter causes some form of cardiac arrest or asphyxiation, according to Wikipedia. So I guess they lied when they told us as kids that laughter is the best medicine. Mind blown.

6. Cotard delusion: A rare mental illness called cotard delusion exists, and the person who is affected by the illness either believes that they are dead or that they have lost all their blood and/or internal organs. The person affected by the illness typically denies their very existence and suffers from extreme psychiatric depression.

5. Eyelash mites: Did you know that there are tiny little bugs that live on your face and eat off your dead skin? The bugs are called Demodex, and they’re tiny mites that live in or close to our hair follicles. There are two species of Demodex living on humans, and both species are typically referred to as “eyelash mites”.

4. Blood squirting lizards: Blood squirting lizards exist! They are called horned lizards, and they actually have a blood-squirting mechanism which shoots blood from their eyes. Blood squirting is a horned lizard's best-known defence when being attacked. A pouch below the lizard’s eyes swells up with blood, and with a surge of pressure, the lizard squirts up a stream of blood that can travel up to six feet.

3. The Suicide Forest: The Aokigahara forest, also known as the Suicide Forest, is located in Japan and is a popular tourist destination. The forest is known as one of the world’s leading sites for suicides. There are even signs located in different areas of trails in the forest encouraging suicide visitors to rethink their decision and contact suicide prevention hotlines.

2. Bacteria in our mouths: Did you know that there could be more bacteria in your mouth than there are people on earth? “In one month, the number of bacteria can easily exceed the number of people who live on Earth,” says Sigmund Socransky, associate clinical professor of periodontology at Harvard. That’s something I could have gone without knowing.

1. Dead skin cells: Human beings lose approximately 30,000 to 40,000 dead skin cells every single minute. If you do the math, that can add up to 50 million skin cells every single day. According to scientists, by the time a human being reaches adulthood, they will have lost roughly 37 trillion cells.
