Hightower, Melvin

Cuts and scrapes are no fun, and their end result can be gross. Wounds can leak pus and scabs are often tempting to pull and tear, but these gross by-products of cuts are an important part of the healing process. In this book, readers pair the science with the gross to discover just why the body makes and leaks pus. It also explores ways to prevent permanent scarring and the proper way to take care of skin injuries with bandages and other medicine to help the body heal correctly.

Earwax and boogers come from different places, but they re equally gross. This book explores why the body makes these icky, sticky substances and what it means when you find more than usual hanging around your ears and nose. Whether it means someone is getting sick or they just haven t taken a bath in a few days, this book explores good hygiene while also explaining the scientific reasons behind these important body processes.
