Why are hair straws so repellent to swallow?

Asked by makemo (383 points) | asked June 27th, 2008 | 14 responses

Why is it that hair straws are really not what you want to have in your mouth, or worse even, swallow:

They don’t make any harm or pose any physical threat to your body, so how can it be that one reacts so repellent to a single tiny straw exhibited in ones mouth, when there are other lifeforms out there, willing to swallow large balls of hair?
