What is the grossest thing a human can do?

Here are some of the absolute grossest things we do, and why we need to keep doing them. Good morning, eye boogies. Sweating from everywhere. Shedding — and recreating — skin. Mucus when you’re sick (and when you’re not) Toot, toot! More than just creative juices are always flowing. Everybody poops. Producing earwax.

Why do people do gross stuff?

“It’s genetic in the sense that we all have these natural motives to avoid disgusting things, to avoid fearful things, and go towards good things such as food,” she says. The disgust response kept our ancestors safe from harmful bacteria in rotting food, toxic water, waste and dead animals.
