Yep.Question for the science people - is it possible that the toenails on my left foot grow quicker than the toenails on my right foot?
Hmm. They are largely made up of keratin. Which is just a type of protein, and is also found in our hair (as well as in hooves/horns/claws of other animals).I seem to recall that our nails are made up of gross stuff.
Booyah! There it is!when you wear shoes
Question for the science people - is it possible that the toenails on my left foot grow quicker than the toenails on my right foot? I assumed they all grew at roughly the same speed.
I've tried telling my brain this is an interesting question, but not one I need to get hung up on. But I finally got to soak in the tub and my distinctly uneven toenails just sat there smirking at me the whole time.
I seem to recall that our nails are made up of gross stuff. Which is bad enough. But this left v's right thing is messing with my brain. And I don't trust Google atm - it seems to be more interested in trying to sell me fungal treatments when I ask it about my toenails...???
Yep.
Could be something as simple as your right foot being slightly bigger than your left foot, so that when you wear shoes there's greater pressure on your right toenails that prevents them from growing as fast as your left.

Gelatin is derived from animal skins, cartilage and bones, but it is made from collagen, not keratin.jello is made out of keratin
