This just in: wisdom tooth removal does not cause autism. Neither does forcibly removing fingernails.

I mean, they’re all things not to do unless there’s a medical reason for it? But while doing it has consequences, they generally have to do with personal (dis)comfort.

That said, I’d be upset if someone tried ANY of those procedures on a baby, as they’re all unnecessary on infants.
