Product Description
Grossology is the outrageous alternative to a really boring health class, introducing the science behind the body's most disgusting features, from burps and vomit to scabs and ear wax. Sylvia Branzei is a teacher, writer, and grossophile who lives in Northern California in a house with very little plumbing. You may have seen her on numerous national TV shows or in People magazine surrounded by the bare feet of her students.
Amazon.com Review
This book dives face first into vats of everything you're not supposed to talk about, with sections entitled Barf, Boogers, Poop, Pee, B.O. and so forth. The illustrations are disgusting and unattractive, the text is filled with disturbing but entirely true passages such as "Snot is one part of your daily diet that you never think about.... Yup, you swallow about a quart of it each day. Just think: you swallow more snot that you drink milk", and lists of how to say various forbidden words in many languages.
All in all, tasteless, disgusting, and bound to offend many people--but what would you expect of a book in a puke-green plastic covered cover entitled Grossology. And, quite honestly, everything it discusses is happening in and on your body right now. Sorry, but it's all true.
