Public entomologists struggle with an epidemic of delusional parasitosis

sigh Yes, humans really do have lots of little bugs and mites, many of which have a mostly “yeah, whatever” kind of co-existence. There are human eyelash mites, human eyebrow mites, probably mite species colonizing other human hairy zones. (Note that these are human specific species. They’ve been around for a while.)

That’s normal, unlike bedbugs and ticks, oh my.

If that’s a problem for you, really don’t think about that fact that a 200-pound adult has 2 to 6 pounds of bacteria in their gut.

And never never ever watch the Night Gallery episode, The Caterpillar.
