  3. That’s part cool, part ew. I hope I don’t remember that every time I go to the beach for the rest of my life.

  5. People are absurdly germophobic. Will that kind of stuff really harm you? At all? Nope.

  10. People who fear bugs should see what they go to sleep with every night. What was that song? “They only come out at night …”

  12. @ Andy

    These arent bugs and Bedbugs are not dust mites. Not nearly as abundant as you’re insinuating.

  13. You see bugs. I see copepods, ostracods, crab megalope, and their friends. 20X is pretty low mag; I dare ya to go higher.

  15. not a big deal really. we are naturally surrounded by insects. even without the micro organisms, bugs are what populate most of the living creatures on earth.

  16. NBD. The average person consumes ~7 spiders each year. When I lived in NYC it was more than once that I awoke with a roach crawling on my face, I hate to think how many of those crappy things I injested.
