The fungus that can take over a bug's brain and turn them into basically a real life zombie ant

There are face mites which live inside your pores next to your hair follicle, eat your sebum, don't have anuses and come out at night to mate on your skin. And there's nothing you can do about it.
3
Giving birth has higher mortality rate than having an abortion.
4
I remember being told eggs have a protein structure so similar to our blood that you could use blood as an egg substitute in cakes etc. Really wish I wasn't told that

Doctors used to perform heart surgery on infants without anesthesia. Thankfully this practice was ended. In the 1980s.
10
I was told by a very senior police officer (a parent of a kid I taught) that it is estimated that 30% of all missing persons reported to police who are never located have been murdered and more often than not they have been murdered by the person reporting them missing in the first place. The police know this, but lack evidence to proceed with prosecutions.

Urine used to be an ingredient in stained glass. So now whenever I see old churches with stained glass, I think of piss-stained rainbow windows.
12
There is micro plastic in everything you eat and drink. Even the air you breathe contains plastic
13
When X-ray technology first became widely available to pediatricians, they noticed a startling high number of broken bones. Befuddled doctors assumed there was a previously unknown pediatric bone disease being observed for the first time. Turns out we had no idea how common child abuse is.

One of the most toxic chemicals on Earth is an organic mercury compound. The material safety sheet notes that it has a slightly sweet odor, but at a concentration where the smell is detectable, it is already lethal. That observation came from someone who would inevitably die from accidental exposure.

Decomposing bodies: Generally, it could take about a year for the body to decompose into a skeleton in ordinary soil and eight to twelve years to decompose a skeleton. And if a dead body is inside a coffin and buried deep underground, it could even take 50 years to decompose all tissues on the body.
20
You can grow teeth on your ovaries.
21
The body fat of a drowned person turns into a soap-like substance if they stay under water with no air contact

Anything and everything about Albert Fish. Man was a true degenerate. If you're faint of heart or have a weak stomach, do NOT look him up. Absolutely disgusting. I wish I could unread everything I read about him.

It takes 8 pounds of pressure to tear off a human ear; a force approximately equivalent to crushing a soda can.
24
That some tumors can grow teeth and hairs
25
Your bones are warm and wet.
