Administrators Eric Posted September 8, 2021 Administrators Share Posted September 8, 2021 So, how much hair do you breath in or injest each year? I read a report that said that the average who regularly dines on fast food eats around 100,000 hairs a year, or about the amount needed to make a wig. The same site said that the average human can eat 6 square feet of dirt before dying, so make what you will of their info. I started this fact-finding mission trying to find stats on how much pet hair pet owners inhale or ingest each year. I didn't find any information, except anecdotal stuff and hypocondriacs wondering if their pet hair was killing therm. I did find the gem below though. I'd like to buy that guy a beer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batesmotel Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I have beagles. Pet hair is just a part of life. I try my best to keep the house clean but hair is unavoidable. Just look at the clumps of hair on his butt about to fall out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickup truck is about a cubic yard. Is that over a lifetime? Also, we eat a bunch of spiders... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwalchmai Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 BTW, a spoonful of diatomaceous earth every morning will aid in grinding up hair, bones, and creepy-crawlies along the canal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet that 2D dirt has some sharp edges though. Seems like it would cut the **** out of you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inthefrey Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 At one point, we had two full grown labs and five cats. In the spring, we were vacuuming everyday and picking up enough pet hair to create our own multicolored hair animal. *No kidding! The two quart vacuum catch container was full!

Peng Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I brush Kitty frequently with a Furminator and when I'm doing it, my mind always wanders to 1 of 2 subjects. The first is how many times every day I've had to tell her to get her butt out of my face. This number is disturbingly high. The second is how many cats hairs I eat per year. I actually have a single cat calculation somewhere in one of my trading notebooks but I'm not going to look for it right now. From memory the number was about 4,000 and I though much of that came from putting food or drink on plates or cups that had hair in them. I do remember counting the hairs I got off my dishrag once but I stopped in horror and went to make sure there was none in my tequila bottle.
