Demodex folliculorum

The Eyelash Mite is the most common type of mite found on a human, but, in rare cases, a human might be infected with Demodex canis. The Eyelash Mite was first described in 1842, and it lives in the pores of, yes, your very own eyelashes. It also lives near the noes, and near the eyebrow. It survives by eating dead skin cells, but does not eat live cells. This makes the relationship between humans and D. folliculorum a communal relationship. We don't have to worry about their feces either, due to the fact that their digestive system is one of the most efficient in the world. However, more sensitive humans might fall victim to certain types of skin disease, such as Blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids. D. folliculorum is transferred by physical contact, and they are sexual reproducers.

says you touched your eyelashes while reading this.

I knew about it.

I also did not touch my eyelashes because I've already done it before. Because I knew about it.

Wikipasta? I don't understand that paragraph...

Yeah. We're living organisms that are more or less coated in a fine layer of smaller living organisms.

It's how nature works.

It's not Wikipasta, and I only spent seven minutes typing the paragraph.

Edit:

My apologies for lying,

I owe you ten e-bucks.

Can't say I'm more concerned about these than I am about finding where those small gray woodlice creatures that are infesting my bed are coming from.

I feel like the Cloverfield monster now.

Cough up, or you'll be paying via loan from the bank of broken e-kneecaps.

OH GOD, THEY'RE EVERYWARE! :bees:

I regret to inform you they were e-magination e-bucks.

Funny, right when i read the thread i had an itch on my eyelash.
I always have that

You are now blinking manually

It's a placebo effect, like above.

They are helping us for eating the dead shit out of our beautiful eyelashes.

Mmm tasty.

I could just go BAWNK with one of those.

You are now breathing manually

Your heart is now beating manually..

You are now urinating and defecating.







Manually, of course.

You owe me

Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck.

NO! GET OUT OF MY HEAD CHARLES! NOOOOO!!

IT'S LIKE CRABS ON YOUR FACE

I did know about this, rendering your title invalid.

I however did not know about this, which renders it valid for me. Also I never touched my eyelashes while reading it.

I've known about them. Don't you have mites in your eyebrows.

Humans are weird things arn't they?

I don't know why people get creep'd out by this kind of stuff.

I see things crawling on my eyes when I look near the sun.

Haha I want to see these little wormies have sex

Cool now hand me the you lose our little wager.

OH GOD I SEE THEM ON MY EYES

Sometimes when I have water in my eyes (i.e. tears) and i squint my eyes at light i see tiny things that look like things that you see through a microscope. Are these things what I see?

Those are probably floaters.

It might be be the mites caught in your tears though. Try seeing if you can get some tear fluid on a slide and look at it through a microscope. I'm curious to know, now.

Hah, I think I see those in massive magnification when I've got my contacts/glasses off. I've got quite poor vision, and when I look at distant lights they get "magnified" somehow, probably due to the warped lens.

You now have the final countdown in your head.

I didn't touch my eyeleashes and I did, in fact, know about them.


HA

I licked a train window, so this doesn't really bother me.

I wonder what inflamed eyelashes look like.

Where's ma e-bucks? I didn't touch my eyelashes.

I was just about to hop into Spore and pioneer this as a Spore creature but a check of the Sporepedia and...

Aids- Something way more important than eyelash mites and yet everyone knows about it but still doesn't make pointless threads.

I have seen them. They just dance around and stuff, just like in spore.

I thought it was pretty interesting...

i didn't touch my eyes when i read this because non-mouse hand was umm... unavailable :fap:

I touched my eyelashes.

You sir, were absolutely correct.

Here's your

You sir just lost yourself 10 dollars.

Give me 10 dollars. I have a paypal if you would like to go that route.

Edit:

And I just lost the game.

Edit:

You fap to eyelash bugs?

Fucking Nazis

I get floaters all the time, in fact if i squint right now i can see a few of them. They are so cute just drifting around.

My floaters appear to be in formation.

OH SHIT THEY'RE FLANKING MY PUPILS

Eyelash bug are nothing. They are so small that you probably won't know they existed

Floaters are the spawn of Satan. Honestly. It came to me in a dream. Seriously though, aren't they irritating? I remember an episode from Family Guy, in which Stewie went:"Oh squiggly line in my eye fluid.."

'Twas hilarious, it was.

I hate floaters. They quite ruin my dain, and they're accompanied with rabid static flickering at background when I look at the sky, which makes them a nuisance. But they're really annoying at winters, since that's a transparent background, I can easily see pretty much all of the floaters.
And fuck, one just drifted past my monitor.

We're dealing with a genius here, lads.

Me too. Where is my ?

I gave it to your parents. Ask for ten dollars, but do not say ANYTHING about me.

Ganna go shave my eyelashes.

BRB

It's pretty cool, since they actually help us rather than giving us diseases.

You owe me 10 bucks.

Give me your credit card number so I can transfer the funds.

Holy crap I'm going to be paranoid about my eye lashes from now on.

Only ten?

You have utterly low-balled yourself.

You owe me money.

You just lost

So wait, you get a disease because it rubbed it's genitals against your eyelashes?!

you know actually i did not touch my eyebrows.


i touched my penis instead

Well at least floaters aren't living, they are little vitreous remains of something that dissolved while your eye was forming. At least that's what most of them are.

You made me lose right there. :(

That's fifty bucks instead. Pay up.

I have known about these for ages

Wait.




There's microscopic things living all over me?



OH SHIT, GET EM OFF DAMNIT, GIMME SOME ANTI-BACTERIAL SOAP FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!
SO ITCHY!!!

WHY GOD WHY!!

I didn't...and i didn't, didn't really have the urge to touch my eyelashes, because i really couldn't care less about these "eyelash mites"

Edit:

Stop trying to whore funnies.

I just cut my eyelashes off.







...shaved my eyebrows for good measure.

No, i just started blinking constantly

ope yeah, i just touched my eyelashes

please.

At least they don't wanna eat my eyes...

Yet.

Edit:

I blinked alot... but didn't touch 'em.

I have a lot of dead skin under my left eyebrow does that mean the things that are meant to be eating all that shit not there?

Maybe you just dont exfoliate enough honey. Keep being fabulous ;)

They're also down below, You're not safe.

No I was too grossed out
