Invisible

I am watching this documentary that I taped about all the things that we DON'T see. We only see about 1% of all the stuff that is out there. That includes small bugs in the air and on the ground, microbes that make dirt smell, microbes that are raining down on us when we go outside, and air that causes planes to fly. And, the radiation we get from flying. It is amazing the amount of bugs and stuff around us we aren't even aware are there. It's sort of creepy really. And, our bodies have billions of creatures in and around our bodies. Our hair and skin. Ugh! Dust is made up of dried skin. Human dust. Oooh! 70-90% of the dust is our skin. And, out of all these I have mentioned that was only half of what the narrator mentioned on the show. I'm sick now and probably won't eat for awhile. I know--Thanks for sharing, right?

Now I feel like sneezing a lot! I am glad our sight is as it is - if it were any better in that we could see more details, I would freak out for sure!

I dont let all that bother me as long as I dont have to be around it. I do hate to go in the offices for my appts that I go too as I am well aware of all the nasty stuff in the air and on furniture and everywhere. I even go so far as to change my clothes as soon as I get in the house, I wont wear clothes that I have sat on some chair in an office that everyone else has sat on.

I set in a waiting room at a doctor's office once years back now and by the time I finally got in to see the doc and went home I had contracted something and was sick. I wasn't when I went in.

Don´t worry about that, dear. Just think that we lick our fingers and we even like it. And bugs can´t be worse than a piece of chicken

@celticeagle I hate some bugs. But not all of them. I would not compare a ladybug with a roach

Mr Turner, my 6th grade science teacher, taught us about that. Our skin is actually kept healthy by bacteria that lives on it. And there's much more.

I haven't really considered the bugs I can't see but tune in on the ones I can see and it isn't always pleasant. Interesting facts produced here. Have a pleasant day!!

Even bed bugs are in your mattress and you can not see them. I vacuum my mqaattress all the time. I wish I had never heard that.

Me too. It was not a doc I should have chosen. But was curious. Now I pay the price.

It would probably become normal. But as it stands now it would be awful.

It is estimated that humans shed skin of about 4 kg in weight in a span of one year.
