I have cats and one of them periodically coughs up hair "balls" (they're actually long tube shaped things), but I've never heard of anything like this before:

LOL. That's absolutely repulsive.

Well. That teaches you to eat your hair..

*URGH*

It's more common than you think, though not at these sizes! It's called a tricholith and lots of people who chew hair, and therefore mostly young women with long hair, get them.

Start eating when you're young and by the time you get bald - ta da! - instant wig.

No need for gel either! Your body's all natural stomach acid molds your hair into any of the latest styles!

Yuck!

 

But funny, just today the girl at the bakery took her pony tail off, (actually, it came lose and later she fumbled it on again). I didn't know that it was a fake, so it was quite a shock, esp. as she is only about 20. Oh well, who knows what else is fake about her

I saw this the other day totally disgusting.

Hahah, what a great thing to be reading in my lunch break...

You can tell which end was closest to her sphincter recti. Did you see the article for the Tree man fellow. I actually felt really sick when I saw that one. I felt so sorry for that guy.
