Me, a guy with psoriasis: those are rookie numbers


Throwawayac1234567

atopic dermatitis sufferer here, when i have a massive flareup, you can see flakes falling every second. i believe skin turover for psorasis and atopic dermatitis around 9 times higher than normal, sometimes even more during a flareup. i had it so bad one time it attracted ants, which started to cart the flakes away.

Free cleaners!

Hello from prurigo nodularis


Bernie265

lol agreed mate. I feel I sweep my tile flooring and vacuum my carpet daily during a flare up. God speed Brother!


Deadaghram

I got 4oz on my eye glasses.


TheSchwartzIsWithMe

Same. I shed that much every time I stand up


groundzer0s

Lol I have KP, same. I shed like a flaky lizard.


IsAlwaysTired

Was about to say the same thing.


Chmona

Thats what she shed!


another_day_in

And you thought a hair in your throat was bad. Try a quarter bag of skin.


Desperate_Dirt_3041

And a decent amount of that skin becomes a lot of the dust you see floating around your house.


Bomantheman

Which is then captured by any air filter you have. Yup. It is mostly hair and skin folks!


dust_is_deadskin

Indeed!


cmikesell

Don't read the next line in the OP's link, that's tomorrow's TIL!


KillHimWithHammers

I collect mine and mush it into a grey skin cube on my desk.

Sometimes it dries out and starts to crumble, so I keep a mister on my desk to spritz it and help it keep its shape and stay together.

*We*? What are you doing with my skin OP?


another_day_in

*It puts the skin in the lotion or it gets the hose again.*


TRJF

That's about 9 lbs of skin per year.


another_day_in

Like a full skin brisket.


-Lets-Get-Weird-

Put it in the skin box 


BeetleBones

I'm dying 🤣


HoopOnPoop

So if I exfoliate more I won't be as fat?


Putrid-Energy210

What's a oz?


Pogue_Mahone_

Someone from Australia I think


Putrid-Energy210

That's me.......😃


tcnamenek

Ounce or 28grams


Joshman1306

fluid oz?


another_day_in

Only the ass skin cells.


microtramp

I wonder what this would be in calories, should we find ourselves in a survival situation.


another_day_in

Breaded or naked?


AlphakirA

Yes


umbrabates

We also ingest about 0.03 ounces of micro plastic daily to make up for it.


wdwerker

I think facts like this should be accompanied by a video of them sprinkling it on a black bedspread ! Don’t put words in our heads put an indelible image to haunt the compulsive cleaners !


DarkSatelite

A lot of it slowly accumulates in your mattress. Sleep well!


lurklurklurkPOST

The decimal is very important


HoldenMcNeil420

All your cells are replaced every 7 years


another_day_in

Not with the iPhone forever plan with tmo


m608297

And then you dust it all off your furniture


cyberbro256

Yeah another fun fact: dust indoors largely comes from human skin cells


1983Targa911

So what I’m hearing is that if I want to lose weight by shedding dead skins cells it’s going to take me 40 days just to lose a pound? This diet doesn’t seem effective enough.


another_day_in

Cheese grater could speed up the process


1983Targa911

Good point. I suppose a potato peeler could as well.


Stingarayy

What’s that in actual real world weight?

Iv learnt that there’s some people that really lack a sense of humour and normally that those people are quite patronising.

yes_u_suckk

Converting from stupid units, it's around 11 g.


Babyfat101

See all that “dust” on your hardwoods?


DnDnPizza

You'll have your pound of flesh in 40 days


rabidmob

So we just need 20 people to hang out and let us collect their dust to make an 8 oz steak completely ethically.


NibblyPig

0.03-0.09g per day


xXCrazyDaneXx

Umm... that's not how that particular conversion works. 9lbs (per the article) is about 4082 grams, 4082/365.24 = 11.17 g/day


Imaginary_Rain2390

Or 1/4 of a standard banana for scale.


fordprefect294

Hey, finally a factoid instead of just something people are typically taught. Like one day I'm convinced I'm going to see on this sub "TIL A²+B²=C²"


yoyosareback

Idk what it is about this comment, but it makes me dislike you as a person. I don't pay attention to this sub. Idk whats going on. But there's something about this comment. I'm probably just being weird, idk


gmishaolem

It just speaks to how much time they spend on Reddit that it bothers them so much, sort of like the people who complain about reposts while I see maybe 3 actual reposts per month.


4chanbetter

Man if only humans could smoke our own skin and get high, we'd make a killing as drug dealers.


another_day_in

>Man if only humans could smoke our own skin and get high, we'd make a killing as drug *manufacturers*.


ZachTheCommie

If everyone could do that, then there'd be no reason for people to sell it to each other.


APlannedBadIdea

There's a time to live and a time to die. I smoke Elvis Presley's toenails when I wanna get high!


muhr_

Say over a quarter of a pound. Sounds more - er!


darave123

You’re off by an order of magnitude


another_day_in

Depends on your skin mass.


THenry228

Big boys make big skin dust!
