Weird things your body does (not seen one of these threads for a while?)

Just in the shower once again counting how many tiny TINY little red dots have newly appeared on my boobs and arms and made me remember some of the past MN threads about weird shit the body does for no reason, especially the things that Google says = death imminent.

the ones that sound concerning have all been checked out and explained as "body can do strange but harmless things".

As above - I get random pin prick red dots mainly on my boobs and upper arms. They are so teeny if I didn't look for them id prob never notice. They aren't cherry angiomas, just dots like I've been jabbed by a needle 🤔

When I wake up in the morning if I go to touch my eye bag area even just slightly, no actual touching, i hear a whooshing in my ear on the same side

I get very slight beaus lines on all my nails for no reason whatsoever

If I get VERY stressed I sometimes get a splinter haemorrhage, always on the same nail, same place

I occasionally get slight purpura in the exact same place on my thigh. Nothing like googling "tiny bruises on leg no injury" to put the shits up you!

Angel by Thierry Mugler literally smells like BO on me. Perfumes with similar notes are fine, just something in that reacts to my....oils???

I have one random very straight thick ginger pube that just grows forever and I have to trim it. (not just one pube, just one ginger one)

I once had a cyst on my forehead and when I finally squeezed it cut it out with a scalpel from Amazon a shard of glass came out 🥴 do not recall having an accident!!

Anyone else have anything a bit weird? Or am I not that weird and others get stuff like this?? 😃

Oh and I have a bizarre wisdom tooth with three craters. It's definitely one tooth, it's like three teeth all fused together. My family often ask to look at it because it's so peculiar.

I also have a ridiculously sensitive gag reflex, even the sensation of holding an object between my front teeth will make me vomit even if the object doesn't touch the inside of my mouth.

I have the same ridiculously sensitive gag reflex.

If I touch the inner bit of my belly button it makes me want to urinate.

I too get javelin bum and exploding head syndrome.

I used to get this too. Then I discovered at the age of 54 that I had a urachal remnant - the tube that connects the bladder in the foetus to the placenta, through the umbilicus.. Normally it withers away after birth, occasionally not, mine went rogue and I had to had it removed, along with part of my bladder and umbilicus. I no longer get that sensation and I suspect that urachus was what caused it 🤔

Reawakening this thread as I have a new odd thing :D

I have recently been trying to eat 30 plants a week, inc home-made kimchi, and have noticed that my urine now smells different :/ not bad, sort of reminiscent of asparagus. Anyone experienced this?!
