The stomach produces a new lining every 3 days to avoid
digesting itself with its own acids.
And there's one dangerous liquid no airport security can
confiscate from you. It's in your gut. Your stomach cells secrete hydrochloric
acid, a corrosive compound used to treat metals in the industrial world. It can
pickle steel, but mucous lining the stomach wall keeps this poisonous liquid
safely in the digestive system, breaking down your lunch but not your own
stomach.
