this is something i have known forever... but my daughter just found out today and about freaked out! *laugh*
the "bug" in question is actually a microscopic mite that is a relative of the spider. it eats dead skin cells and the like, and burrows into the follicles of our eyelashes and resides there. we all share our bodies with other microscopic organisms that feed off of our dead skin cells, bacterias, enzymes in our mucus membrames and the like... it's symbiosis in one of it's truest forms...
you gotta know my daughter... she freaks out over the tiniest ant... a spider in another room in the house... ANYTHING creepy, crawly, and unseen... *laughing* ... poor thing was was freaking out and not sure whether or not to believe me...
just figured it would be a fun topic to share....
