Did you know that sloths poo only once a week? Or that poo from crocodiles was sometimes used as make-up in ancient Rome? Or that ancient Romans sometimes purchased vials of gladiator sweat? Or that apes and monkeys sweat from their armpits just like humans do?
Welcome to Gross FACTopia!, a wonderland of fantastically foul facts, all of which are verified by Encyclopaedia Britannica!
Every fact in this book is linked to the next in an ingenious trail of information, where you will slither from topic to topic in surprising and stomach-churning ways.
Sometimes your path branches, and you can catapult forwards or creep backwards to a totally different (but still connected) part of the book.
Follow your curiosity (and your nose) through this ridiculously revolting world of facts!
An amazing journey through 400 connected facts, this is the third title in this brilliant series and will delight lovers of trivia, especially those with a thirst for toilet-related facts and figures!
By Paige Towler, illustrated by Andy Smith, this is a joy ( although disgusting!) to read and share, and I loved the clever linking that leadsfrom one vile nugget of knowledge to the nasty next one!!

The timing of the sunrise varies by season, and shuttle schedules adjust accordingly. During summer, pickups can begin as early as 3:30 AM to reach the lake in time. Guides help manage groups and ensure punctuality. As the shuttle ascends through moraine lake shuttle forested paths, riders often spot wildlife like elk or deer along the way. The quiet, dark journey adds to the anticipation, and the moment the lake comes into view feels almost magical after the scenic drive.
Patient collections are a growing part of behavioral health revenue. High deductibles and out-of-pocket costs make it essential to collect patient payments efficiently. Upfront communication about fees and financial policies helps set clear expectations. Providing payment plans, accepting multiple mental health revenue cycle management payment methods, and sending timely reminders can improve collection rates. Ensuring a compassionate but consistent approach to billing contributes to better patient relationships and reduces the likelihood of accounts going to collections.
