Five Disgusting Things You Have on Your Body Right Now

No matter how much you shower or think you are clean, your body is still covered with all kinds of disgusting stuff, but it's not all bad for you.

According to Men's Health, here are five examples:

1. Demodex mites.  They're are microscopic parasites that live on your eyelashes.  They feed on skin cells and oil secreted by your hair follicles.  Basically everyone has them, and at night they come out and walk around on your face.
2. Fecal matter.  No matter how well you take care of business, there's always a little left behind, about a tenth of a gram, unless you're messy.  It ends up on your underwear, and spreads to the rest of your clothes in the laundry.
3. Dead skin cells.  Pretty much the whole outer layer of your skin is dead, and in the process of falling off at all times.  It's totally normal and harmless, but every time you touch someone else anywhere, in any way, you're touching dead skin.
4. Skin-eating insects.  There's a common type of mite that feeds on dead skin cells.  It can be a cause of a common form of eczema, so if you have eczema, you might have the mites too.
5. Belly button bacteria.  Your belly button tends to collect a lot of exotic bacteria, about 2,000 different species at any given time.  Researchers have found bacteria in people's navels are usually found only in the polar ice caps and thermal vents.

That is definitely something to think about at least.
