I would have preferred this clip if they had done without the creepy synth music and instead cheerfully discussed these creatures and the clever niches they inhabit the same way nature documentaries describe life in the Sahara.
Well, at least I’m good on that last one. For now.
The creepiest thing in that movie was the eye. Gross!
The whole point is that all of the washing of hands and not biting of fingernails is *not* going to do a damn bit of good if your goal is to get rid of the things in this video. If you think that is something, just Google “gut bacteria” and prepare yourself to find out that you are much more than you think you are.
Here, I’ve done it for you:

I remember reading as a kid that mascara was killing the eyelash-mites, and scientists thought perhaps this finding might reveal more of their purpose. All I really got out of it, though, was that I felt bad for the mites. I decided that I shouldn’t wear mascara because of them (I still don’t, but not so much for that reason, I just don’t wear any make-up) and tried to convince my mom not to, either… that didn’t work. Poor mites.
Yummy, yummy hand sanitizer.
@6 yeah, except for the part about all the alcohol in hand sanitizer that can dry out your skin, potentially causing it to develop microscopic cracks which would let in everything you want to keep out.
Yeah, kind of icky and all, but the plethora of life found nearly everywhere on earth is pretty frickin’ cool. Oh, and good luck getting rid of all that.
@5:
And brazilian wax is killing off pubic lice… so, keep the bushes!
