“What a madman.”
“Dude needs to worry about hitting and stop making stupid TikToks.”
“This is milk-before-cereal level. He’s a serial killer.”
“Been doing that my whole life lol.”
“Unsanitary if you share a toothpaste with others, green light if it’s just yours.”
“Horrifying! This is psychopath behaviour, definitely not elite.”
“It ain’t that big of a deal we’ve all done that once before 😭😭.”
This was not the only time Bryce Harper has shared some of his unique habits online. During the offseason in December, Harper went through an EBOO (Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation) procedure.
It’s a therapeutic treatment that involves ⅓ of the blood drawn from the body, filtered externally and then returned to the bloodstream.
