The latest and strangest TikTok trend: eating dirt to reduce wrinkles
Briefly

"[One] teaspoon of organic biodynamic soil has more microorganisms than humans on earth," Stephanie Adler stated. This highlights the immense diversity of microorganisms present in soil that can supposedly benefit gut health.
"I love eating dirt," admitted another TikTok creator. "I don't care what nobody says. Can't nobody make me stop eating it." This statement reflects an increasing trend among individuals promoting unorthodox health practices for improving wellbeing.
To benefit from soil microorganisms safely, avoid washing organic veggies, walk in nature, garden, and don't over-sanitize kids' hands after outdoor play. The goal is exposure.
Breathing in particles from natural sources like forests or oceans can introduce beneficial microorganisms into our bodies, furthering the argument for natural, unprocessed exposure to soil.
