This book was so much morbid and interesting fun 😅 I learned so much, and Blaine is already so sick of me spouting off random, weird facts about everything from fatbergs to maggot farms and from head transplants to poop. The intro says how you can read it all in order or just read a bit here and there which is super true, but man is it fun reading them back to back in order precisely because they're so random 😅 Highly recommend for those who aren't squeamish.

If you can think of something that grosses you out, it's probably at least mentioned in here. Particularly significant descriptions of insects, parasitic and other infections/illnesses, necrophilia (mainly in animals), and urine and other bodily fluids. Some casual cissexism.
