So I found out about this. I'm kind of over it now, but it was pretty disturbing at first. :shock:

Demodex folliculorum, or the demodicid, is a tiny mite, less than 0.4 mm long, that lives in your pores and hair follicles, usually on the nose, forehead, cheek, and chin, and often in the roots of your eyelashes.
I saw this a while ago. Considering all the microbes that are all over me right now, I really don't care. It's not like they're hurting me. I'm like a city for tiny animals/bacteria, and perfectly fine with that.
I remember learning about these in science class. Our teacher showed us a video of them burrowing through skin. It was creepy. lol.
I hate the microscopic world. :(
Someone in my class once quoted :
"Microscopes: Opening up a whole new world of scary (Censored)." Everybody started to chuckle, but i really think it was not that funny. But i think its a fair thing to say in a response to the subject at hand.
Hey, they keep my buttloads of dandruff from making mountains on my pillow. :D
Really though, those things that could be associated with blackheads, I have a blackhead literally every pore of my nose (it's not near as bad as it looks.. barely noticeable! ;))
Creeped me out when I first found this out, but now I think I've found a way to peacefully coexist :/

I mean... eww, eyelash bugs! >.>
I find it gross how there's tiny bugs crawling all over me, especially since they look like... gross.
Don't care that much though, as long as they don't bother me.
Kind of gross, let me go shower :)
It just makes me want to shower a lot... as if I didn't already. I shower 3-4 times a day. I am not a dirty or smelly person just a complete clean freak. Oh, well that made my average shower time go up an hour or two.

I'm sure these nasty critters are still there after wards but the thought of showering helps lol.
Try one of these.

Huh, the only eyewash I ever saw was one of those freaky tube ones you stick up to your eye. :(
That looks far more pleasant.
haha they have those eye wash things in my science class. About the microbs infesting my flesh I don't realy care they wont hurt me or anything. lol
I think you mean dust mites.Quote:

I wonder if there are microscopic animals on the microscopic animals, and microscopic animals on the animals with microscopic animals....
:D
Could be very possible. If you realize how infinitely large the universe is, as well as infinitely small. Can we even see atoms with SEMs? No.
:D
What if we are the microscopic animals on the microscopic animal? :P
That thar's deep.Quote:
