1.) Never say you're being "eaten alive" by mosquitos, again. That was an actual method of execution. Scaphism was an ancient form of torture and execution where you'd cover someone with honey, stick them in a hollowed log, and let nature run its course.
2.) It takes the death of 27,000 trees daily to make toilet paper for humans.
3.) Speaking of execution methods...one method the ancient Romans used involved beating people and then sewing them into a bag with a live dog, snake, monkey, and chicken and throwing them into the ocean.
4.) Postpartum psychosis can manifest overnight meaning a new mother can become violent the morning after giving birth. The psychosis only occurs in around 0.1% to 0.2% of deliveries but it's still a horrifying proposition!
5.) Until about 200 years ago, humans ingested human remains for medicinal purposes. People believed that taking dried and ground-up organs, bones, and more could be beneficial to their health.
