In a cautionary tale for us all, a man in Fujian province was recently hospitalized due to his habit of sniffing his smelly socks every afternoon upon coming home from work.

After he arrived at a hospital in the city of Zhangzhou, doctors discovered that the ill man was suffering from a fungal infection in his lungs. A doctor told local reporters that this infection was apparently caused by the man’s unusual sock-sniffing obsession.

The doctor added that the man’s immune system had also been weakened by sleeping too little and staying up too late while taking care of a baby at home, as well as other factors.
