Fun fact, there is almost a hundred percent chance that Demodex mites live on the skin of your head and face at this very moment.
The burrow into our follicles and live on the oils we excrete. They come out at night to mate. On our faces.
They are microscopic and mostly harmless though.
I’ve been dealing with dry eye and they’ve gone a little crazy on my eyes. My eye doctor actually had to give me eye drops to clear them up a bit
The little crusties you get when you sleep. Got so bad that I couldn’t open my eyes in the morning
Since taking eye drops to clear out the demodex and doing a bunch of eye hygiene, I now have almost no crusties in the morning
You had to say mostly
Big fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em, and little fleas have lesser fleas, and so, ad infinitum
There’s always a smaller flea
And the big fleas themselves, in turn, have bigger fleas to go on; While these again have bigger still, and bigger still, and so on.
There’s a mini-Linguini controlling that amoeba.
I appreciate this as a science meme because it reflects the recursive problem with homoculi.
