If someone notices a tooth or fingernail loose, they yank it out. Why would they do that? Some skin coming loose? Rip it off! Why??? I know it's just to gross out the audience, but in real life if someone noticed a part of their body coming loose they'd be very careful not to aggravate it and would head to a doctor immediately.

Damn skippy. But it really really does creep out the audience. (Me, anyway).
It surprised me for a while how many humans are not comfortable with their own body. As if they don't realize it is part of them. Or how humans seem to be dependent on others to keep their body working. Or how a person can grow to be 300 pounds in their life.. that's just utterly amazing!
It's no miracle that many humans lose their body (the body is the soul, read genesis again) to other spirits who have better use for it.
