I want Neanderthal Face Mites ! Because it would explain a lot.....

MINE !!



THEY TICKLE.

I've showed you mine - show me yours ?

Ya know salem, while I know it, I really try not to think about how, we have certain kinds of mites etc...that live on us. I mean there are some kinds of mites that live on us, that are actually symbiotic, in that they get food from us, (dead skin cells we shed) and we get the benefit of not walking around looking all crusty and scaly.

We have bugs that live in our G.I. tract which actually make it possible for us to metabolize certain foods.

But still it sort of (no pun intended) makes my skin crawl to think about it. LOL

Especially when I think about the fact that mites, are arachnids. Like Spiders.



Shudders...I have a terrible phobia of arachnids. I freely admit it. A little tiny spider, makes me want too run away the other direction screaming in terror.

BTW check out phthiriasis sometime.

I like to have done a back flip out of my chair one time, when giving a new recruit an eye exam I suddenly saw one, just reach out with it's clawlike appendage and swing from one eyelash, to another.

Still get the creepy crawlies thinking about that one too. LOL
