Salt Crystals

Why do I have salt crystals oozing out of my scalp?

I'm not sure I want to know.

It wasn't a riddle.

Oh. In that case:

Quote :

If you have increased sweating, then these sand particles could be salt crystals left behind by sweat evaporation. Sweat dermatitis too can cause intense itching. It can also be calcium deposits due to calcium metabolism problems, kidney problems, thyroid or parathyroid gland problems or due to Vit D problems. Also if the hair is in resting phase called Telogen, there is a hard white solid particle at its base. It can also be due to dandruff. Seborrheic dermatitis (dried sebum), acne necrotica, eczema, psoriasis, lichen planus and fungal infection are the other possibilities.

Of course, Mrs. NoCo may be salting your head at night while you sleep. Don't ask me why she would want to do this; take it up with her (If it turns out she is doing this, take it up with her psychiatrist).

Maybe she thinks I'm a slug?



Maybe she has reason?

What does it mean if your urine fizzes and pops when it hits the porcelain, like it's carbonated?

Does that happen every time?

It NEVER happens, at least not to me. I just want to know what it would mean.

It could be a reaction with a cleaning agent used in the toilet.

Heh, that would be cool.

You know those African fish that swim up your urethra if you pee in the lake? Can they still get you if you're not immersed?

South American.  And that myth is busted.

Where do you come up with some bizarre questions?
Have you had a brain MRI lately?

I like that concept. Come up with questions concerning phenomenon that either seem impossible, or, improbable, then generate the most likely explanation for them.

Why is it that schoolchildren in Guatemala are growing vestigial tails?

Hmmm... vestigial tails are not what's unusual. So my question would be why specifically Guatemalan school children, and is it all of them or just some of them?

Why are mice falling from the sky in Guam?

Why do you say "the myth is busted" while linking to an article that confirms it is true?

You're right.

I should have confined that link to the word "myth" and then linked the word "busted" to the 2 or 3 articles I found that conclusively busted the still-widespread and still widely-believed story.
