Science Alert
Everybody has their own weird, idiosyncratic habits that probably don’t make sense to anybody else, but one Chinese man’s tendency for personal daily weirdness turned out to be a serious danger to his health. The man in question, a 37-year-old named Peng in reports, had apparently developed a strange custom of sniffing his worn, dirty socks every day after he finished work.
Okay, so that might seem a little unusual (and off-putting) to the rest of us, but to each their own, right?
Peng’s weird penchant for checking out his own foot odour might have seemed like a harmless habit to him, but it turned to be the exact opposite.
Peng, who lives in the city of Zhangzhou in China’s Fujian Province, ended up being admitted to hospital with a serious bout of chest pains, feeling tightness in his chest while breathing, and also coughing.
