This is the kind of information that can make someone become a hypochondriac. So . . . you’re welcome?
Apparently MILLIONS of us have microscopic bugs crawling around near our eyes right now . . . and we have no idea.
They’re called eye mites, and they just LOVE to suck on the oils from your eyes, and live in your eyelashes and eyelids.
So how did you get them? Usually it’s because you do nasty stuff like letting your pets rub against your face or lick around your eyes . . . or because you rub your eyes without washing your hands first.
On the bright side, the eye mites can’t do any real damage. But if you have a lot of them, they can cause irritation or inflammation around your eyes. Plus it’s just kind of disgusting to think about tons of bugs all up in your grill.
So if you want to make sure you’re clear, you can go to the eye doctor and get checked out. And if your doctor finds them, they can clean them out in about 20 minutes.
