    Just don't eat your earwax. That shit is N.A.S.T.Y.

    It's normal. I chew on my hang nails, but don't eat them. I eat my scabs, my boogers and dead skin. Research shows that our ancestors used to eat that stuff as a way to boost their immune system. It strengthens it. More people do it than you think.

    Ok. I got to admit it's gross but I do it too. It's a disgusting habit and I've been trying to kick it but haven't been successful so far. I'm not sure if it's exactly NORMAL but you're not the only one that does it.

    It's not normal, but probably not harmful, either.

  • Oke stop it. It has a reason why it's called " dead skin" because it's dead your body doesn't want it anymore,! If you ear it you just give it back to hom

    Start a scab collection rather than eating them.

    I do that too, not the fingernails, but hangnails and scabs.
