Question by xxxx: Why is it always our fingertips and toes that wrinkle when we’re in the water too long?
If I’m in the showe for a long time, which I usually am, I notice that only my finger tips and toes wrinkle. Why doesn’t any other part of the body wrinkle?

It’s because of the water/salt levels that are changed from being in the water for long periods of time.
