I walk down to the river and sit on the footbridge, watching the dark, timeless water flowing beneath me. There is a girl about 20 yeards away. Maybe I should go talk to her, I think.

Thus, it cannot be detected even by careful scrutiny in front of a mirror. During its two-week life span, Demodex grows up, breeds and dies in the oily pores on the eyelid and elsewhere on man's face without attracting attention. It makes its presence known only when something upsets the ecological balance of the face, encouraging the mites to overpopulate. Then they cause swelling in an eyelash pore, or spread bacterial infections into adjacent follicles...
