Reply to comment by Antiquemooses in TIL about Demodex, or eyelash mites. They are too small to see with the naked eye, and feed off of the dead skin cells of humans. Almost every adult human alive has an eyelash mite population living on their face. by lonewolf9378

Kinda already the case with mental illness haha. For some anywho.

Imagine a higher being fixing that problem quickly, oh these neuron pathways are all wrong, and done, then they ask some weird questions since they did something for you.

Thank god we’re still comparing the mentally ill to viruses. I was afraid we’d been humanizing them too much.
