Latiesha Jones, who is 24 years old, has turned a very unusual business into a big source of income by selling not only her toenails but also her spit and even the water she bathes in.
Her journey into this unexpected line of work began when she was still in college, studying to become a doctor and looking for ways to bring in a little extra income on the side.
That single request sparked an idea. Before long, she found herself selling a tiny bottle of her saliva for over $2,000.
Now, Latiesha earns around $6,700 every week. She shared on the Tea At Four podcast that many of her buyers are most interested in one thing in particular: ‘anything foot-related’.
And when it comes to her feet, some fans take it a step further. A few actually buy her toenail clippings — and what they do with them is enough to make most people queasy.
“I sell my toenails and that person who has my toenails, he grinds it up and he uses it as salt and he puts it on his food and eats it.” Latiesha added.
“I feel like I’m doing that with women now with our community, I am still helping the women because I’m opening them up to doing something safely that they would not have known about before.” the content creator said.
“In my opinion I think that it’s the same thing but in a different way. I still feel like I’m helping people, just not in a hospital.”
She added: “People will say like ‘You can get framed for a crime, they’re cloning you’.”
“I don’t really think too much into it, I’m like ‘You sell your clothes on Vinted or eBay or wherever, people are still getting a part of you’.”
Since stepping into this one-of-a-kind career, Latiesha said she was able to leave college behind, purchase her own home, and wipe out all the debt she had — all thanks to finding success in the niche fetish market.
