Childhood was a Scam! Everyone Believes These Myths were Real

Most of the myths do not only teach you morals but also teach you how to be hygienic. “If your teeth comes out as a child, you must throw it on the roof of your house or it won’t grow again” Actually it’s a myth. It will grow. But They just don’t want children to play with it because you may mistakenly swallow it, cause aspiration and death. “If your food falls on the ground, just forget it, the devil has eaten it. Don’t bother with it again” Actually it’s a myth. But the aim is to promote hygiene. They don’t want you to picking things from the floor and eating them which may be unhealthy. “If you have Apollo (conjunctivitis), put urine, so that your eyes will clear.” Actually that’s a myth. Urine is a waste product. You should never put it in your eyes. Conjunctivitis usually tends to go on its own after a few days even if left untreated.

"Don't wash your hand from rain water dripping from the roof or you get leprosy". Rain water from the roof is usually dirty and not hygienic. You won’t get leprosy but it’s not good for you.
