Humans can grow horns similarly to Omens in Elden Ring. Cutaneous horns can be caused by benign growths, precancerous lesions, or even skin cancer. Apparently, these are also becoming increasingly common in people.

When fertile, women have significantly increased mucus volume in their vaginas.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervix
Several hundred glands in the endocervix produce 20–60 mg of cervical mucus a day, increasing to 600 mg around the time of ovulation.
Our noses have erectile tissue.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasal_concha
Conchae are lined by pseudostratified columnar, ciliated respiratory epithelium with a thick, vascular, and erectile glandular tissue layer.
Human face pores are home to tiny, microscopic mites called Demodex.
They are most active at night, when they leave their follicles to mate on the face and then return to find a new follicle.
Almost everyone has them. So there are tiny arachnids having sex on your face every night.
I thought everyone had them. If you didn't, wouldn't your hair follicles get clogged and gross?
Would that mean that I'm not a virgin, having been in multiple orgies?
So they skeet and yeet on your face.
Op said gross or disgusting. That sounds awesome
You can develop a rectourinal fistula and end up pissing shit
Annnd thread closed.
This is the first comment on my post that actually makes me feel uncomfortable.
Imma have to tell you to stop doing everything you're doing immediately.
Surprisingly not in this thread: all the horrible things pregnancy can do.
I'm fairly certain that if women would get a full disclaimer with all the nasty side effects a pregnancy comes with, they'd give it a second thought... On the other hand, some women insist on having a second baby... And then a third... And a fourth...
I was told all the things that could go wrong when I was a kid, and then my mother was all, why not have a kid, and I was just
"CAUSE IT'S A NIGHTMARE???" lol
Sometimes they don't get the really horrible effects, or at least not the first couple of times.
You have mites living in your eyelashes.
I'm locked in here with them. They're locked in here with me!
There are more cells in your body that aren't you, than are.
The count of bacterial cells in your gut, on your skin etc is higher than the number of your own cells.
This is one of the scientific plot holes in The Fly. Or at least the 1980s version. The head-swap version has other problems.
I think one’s microbiome has more mass than one’s brain too. So… who is really doing the thinking?
My brain hasn't that's for sure
Retrograde menstruation.
Because the feliciano tubes aren’t closed on the ends, where they interact with the ovaries, blood from a period can flow backwards into your abdominal cavity.
Additionally, a small amount of sperm (if a woman is sexually active and say trying for a baby) can also go the full way and leak into the abdominal cavity.
So some women can have blood and semen free floating in their abdominal cavity. Between organs
Feliciano tubes, you say.... Felopian tubes, do you me mean?
I find it a bit funny that your gross examples are semen. But also yeah. So sticky.

There's a type of cyst called dermoid cyst which can grow hair, nails or even teeth inside it.
That's a teratoma
I had heard of that but didn't know the name and forgot about it
My wife had one of these, only spotted after they saw the teeth in an x-ray.
