When you clip your fingernails or toenails, what do you do with those clippings when you're done?

The polling outfit YouGov asked 5,000 Americans.  And 3% admitted they just let them fall where they may and LEAVE them there.

Here are the top five things we do with our fingernail clippings . . .

1.  Throw them in the trash, 73%.  That's the correct answer.

2.  Flush them, 7%.  Fine.

3.  Throw them outside, 5%.  A little weird, but okay.

4.  Toss them in the sink, 3%.  Also weird, but fine. (I cut mine into the sink, then collect them and dump them in the garbage)

5.  "I leave them where they fall," 3%.

The most common place to do it is in the bathroom, 40%.  Bedroom is next at 23%.  Then living room, 13% . . . outside, 8% . . . and 2% of us clip our nails in the kitchen. 

Young people and MEN were a little more likely to say they leave them where they fall, which isn't shocking.

4% said they never clip their nails.  So they're either biters, go to the nail salon all the time, or they're going for a Guinness World Record.

For the rest of us:  The average person clips their fingernails every week or two.  Two weeks was the most common answer.

In health news:  A study found it might be possible to vaccinate people using dental floss.  Researchers tried it out on mice.  They cleaned their tiny teeth using floss coated with inactive flu virus, and it worked.

For those that hate needles this could be a good thing…but you don’t floss either, so……..

In nap news:  A study found humans might have the genes needed to hibernate.  We'd just have to tweak them to do it.  Experts say it could unlock all sorts of new treatments for things like diabetes and obesity.  Animals that hibernate can lose weight quickly without affecting their health.

I've always said...get more sleep, you eat less!
