The University of Virginia has been studying reincarnation since the 1970's and has over 2400 cases on file. They only study children below the age of 8-10, because after that, is when you lose most of your childhood memories. Their results are impressive.

A couple of things I learned in beauty school:
There's microscopic mites at the base of each of everyone 's eyelashes.
Sucking on your hair ends or biting your nails is an effective way to get pinworms. Pinworms are nocturnal and crawl out of your a**s at night and cause a crawling, itching sensation and are contagious.
What most people believe is "dandruff" is actually dry scalp flakes. Real dandruff is contagious and is yellow and waxy, and can be as large as cornflakes. Many "dandruff" shampoos clear up dry scalp temporarily but continued use causes worse dry scalp, which keeps them in business. Real dandruff needs a prescription.
Your hair shaft has a cuticle that is heat sensitive. Using some chemicals, heat tools and hot water open the cuticle,. That can make hair look more volumized but also causes tangles, split ends and frizz. Using good conditioner and rinsing hair in cold water can close the cuticle, giving you less frizz and tangles and more shine.
Hair and skin have a pH of 4.5-5.5, so acidic products and water are much better for them than alkaline products.

Algae that grows on sloths is being researched as a cancer treatment.
A cat's pure can help broken bones heal faster. Something to do with the vibrations.
These are things that I read about I don't know how true they are so don't judge.
