"Disturbing" is EXACTLY the correct word, I think.
<< <i>Yes, it's not quite as bad as the commercial about the foot fungus that'd lift up the dude's toenail and climb in, but it's almost as freaky...minus the cringe factor. >>
Oh my God! That commercial is the sickest thing I've ever seen! every time I saw it, I wanted to go soak my toes in gasoline and set them on fire.
There are critters living in YOUR eyelashes...........
Demodex folliculorum, or the demodicid, is a tiny mite, less than 0.4 mm long, that lives in your pores and hair follicles, usually on the nose, forehead, cheek, and chin, and often in the roots of your eyelashes.
Demodicids have a wormlike appearance, with legs that are mere stumps. People with oily skin, or those who use cosmetics heavily and don't wash thoroughly, have the heaviest infestations ... but most adults carry a few demodicids. Inflammation and infection often result when large numbers of these mites congregate in a single follicle.
The mites live head-down in a follicle, feeding on secretions and dead skin debris. At the left, you can see three demodicids buried in the follicle of a hair, and you can also see the hair's shaft. If too many mites have buried into the same follicle, it may cause the eyelash to fall out easily.
An individual female may lay up to 25 eggs in a single follicle, and as the mites grow, they become tightly packed. When mature, the mites leave the follicle, mate, and find a new follicle in which to lay their eggs. The whole cycle takes between 14 to 18 days.
The mites have tiny claws, and needlelike mouthparts for eating skin cells. Their bodies are layered with scales, which help them anchor themselves in the follicle. The mite's digestive system results in so little waste that the mite doesn't even have an excretory opening. So although there may be mites in your eyelashes, there isn't any mite poop! Thank goodness!
However ... did you know that you go to sleep at night on a pillow that is home to many thousands of dust mites ...which help keep our homes clean by consuming the tens of millions of skin cells we shed each day? Just pretend they're not there!

To these creatures, YOU are the UNIVERSE.

I've learned to quickly change the channel as soon as it comes on ...
You'd think someone at PedEgg would think that no one wants to see that foot crud while they're eating!

p.s. Be sure to check out the Mo Rocca PedEgg Torment video!
and how about those pads you put on the bottom of your feet that supposedly suck out all the toxins in your body and turn the pads black?
PC sort of smells like rotten feet .... hmmmm!

Oh man, that makes me quiver every time I see that. Disgusting.
