    This is why creepy 90s cartoons always showed worms poking out of decaying teeth!

    Maybe I can use this to trick my 9-year-old into actually brushing his teeth correctly. Kidding. Maybe. 😏 🪱

        Demodex folliculorum are a little more shocking, once you learn about them.

        While the body is host to millions of microscopic critters, that one has the audacity to host nightly orgies on your face.

    Considering how many parasites exist for every organ, I’m surprised these don’t exist.
