Why Do Fingers Wrinkle in Water?

Ever noticed how your fingers get all wrinkly after a long bath or swim?

Most people think it’s because your skin absorbs water. But that’s not true!

It’s actually your nervous system triggering tiny muscle contractions under the skin. Scientists believe wrinkled

fingers improve grip on wet surfaces. Like nature’s traction control. That’s why it

only happens on hands and feet. Where grip matters most. So next time

your fingers wrinkle, remember it’s your body adapting!
