Hairy Toes

Posted on September 29, 2004 in Body Language

“I can tell that your circulation in your feet is great,” said my new GP. He pointed to the hair on my toes.

Where there is hair there is life. Hair shows that the blood is reaching the zone, to dump some of the body’s purges and vivify the cells. If the hair falls off or disappears, it is a reason to call your doctor. I have lots of hair on my feet, though not nearly so much as a hobbit. I am doing fine.

My new GP is balding. I didn’t ask him what that meant.
