I have noticed that the cartilage in my girlfriends ears is
hard and she is unable to bend it without it hurting. However in my ears the
cartilage is floppy and can be bent without any pain at all. Why is this?
I took part in a quiz in which the following question was asked:
"Your bodily functions stop when you sneeze. True or false?" I answered
"false", but the quizmaster said it was true. Does he have a case, and
if so, what happens physiologically when you sneeze?
My son is 6 months old, mixed white British/Polynesian. His skin colour is fair like mine except the fingertips which are much darker like his father's skin. The same is true of my friend's son (Jamaican/Scottish heritage) who also is quite light-skinned but has very dark brown fingertips. What causes this and is it true the darker colour is an indication of what his skin tone will eventually even out to?
As an Eczema sufferer I have to moisturise every night before I go to bed, over the years I have found that if I apply the moisturiser to just one part of my body, for example my stomach, and then get into bed and pull the duvet over myself, when i wake up in the morning my entire body seems to have been moisturised but it doesn't have this same effect if i don't get straight into bed. Can anyone explain this to me?
