Estoy de Acuerdo / I agree Collapse ▲ On my drive to and from work recently, I have been seeing tall spikes of yellow flowers growing in clusters along the roadside. They start flowering at the bottom of this spike and then as time goes on, the higher flowers start to open. What I have been seeing is cowboy’s toilet paper (Verbascum thapsus), which is also known as common mullein1. Cowboy’s toilet paper is an invasive wildflower that is native to Eurasia and Africa. It is a biennial, meaning that it lives for two years. During the first year, it grows close to the ground as a basal rosette of leaves. It is in the second year that we see these tall spikes of yellow flowers reaching heights of up to seven feet. After the plant finishes flowering, its seeds mature and the mother plant dies. Cowboy’s toilet paper tends to be found in neglected sites such as the roadways that I see it growing along so often. It prefers sandy soils and a neutral to slightly alkaline pH. While some pollinators do use cowboy’s toilet paper and it can be attractive in select settings, it is generally considered a weed as it reseeds prolifically. In areas where flowers are allowed to mature, this plant can release 100,000 to 180,000 seeds and often crowds out more desirable native plants2. The unique name for this plant comes from its occasional use as a toilet paper replacement. Leaves are covered in woolly hairs that make the leaf quite soft. If used as toilet paper, it is important to get fresh leaves rather than old, dry leaves as these will crumble during use. In addition to its use during emergencies and lockdown-induced toilet paper shortages, this plant has traditionally been used medicinally for a number of illnesses. If you need any help identifying plants that you find out in the environment, bring a complete sample or several high-quality pictures to the Cooperative Extension Center and we will do our best to help you. If you bring high-quality pictures, make sure that they aren’t blurry and that all parts of the plant are visible.

Is it normal to have hair on your nipples?

It's possible — and normal — to have hair almost anywhere on the body, so a few hairs on your nipples are nothing to worry about. Lots of girls have them.

Do many girls have hair around their nipples and if so, how do they remove it?

– Kamira*

It's possible — and normal — to have hair almost anywhere on the body, so a few hairs on your nipples are nothing to worry about. Lots of girls have them. You have several options for removing nipple hair. You could try tweezing, waxing, sugaring (a type of waxing), or even electrolysis or laser treatment (although these last two can be expensive). Shaving is not the best idea since it's easy to cut sensitive nipple skin. Some girls have extra hair on their bodies because of genetics — some people have less body hair and others have more, so if your mom or sister also has nipple hair, it may just run in the family. Girls might also have extra hair because their bodies make too much of a hormone called androgen. Too much androgen can make a girl grow hair on her face, chest, and abdomen. High amounts of androgen also might cause skipped periods or stop a girl's periods completely. If you are worried about having a lot of body hair, ask your doctor if you should get your hormone levels checked.
