I think i thought of this because i got some sort of cut (small) on my finger and my finger went straight into my mouth, to minimize the ouch.
Why, if we have a ton more bacteria in our mouth vs anywhere else on our body, do we use our mouth to minimize the pain or stem the blood from a cut? why do we instinctively go for the mouth like that? think it stems from when we used to suck on our bottles or fingers when we're just learning about our appendages?
i dunno, was just thinking that as i was trying to make my wound feel better! call me crazy
