Belly button lint explained.
Now will some kind MeFite PLEASE post that link to answer this question so I can stop screaming the link at my monitor, hoping it will somehow make it through osmosis into Ask MeFi? Thanks and many bananas to you.

Proof that there's at least two types of people in the world, those that would ask an answer be posted to ask MeFi, and those that would keep the info to themselves and chuckle smugly at all the smarty pants that don't even know where lint comes from.
-
Third type of people: those who don't get belly button lint, and are astonished that some people acquire copious amounts of it. Yikes.
-
That explains my hubby to a T. (And I pray he doesn't read this and get mad for posting about something as personal as his belly button lint.) I for one have no belly button lint, and it makes me sad.
-
If you sweat, if you have clothing that has a nap that can collect lint, if you have hair surrounding the navel, if you bathe somewhat infrequently. I'm not certain this is a difficult question. Not trying to be snotty, just doesn't seem too tough.

You may now stop screaming at your monitor, SideDish. and no, split atom is not one of my aliases

Where belly button lint comes from isn't the important question, what to do with it all is the important question. I say a new line of designer scarves.
