@museumofscience: Did you know you’re sharing your bed with thousands of tiny arachnids? 🧹    Quinten Geldhof, also known as @Microhobbyist, introduces us to the household dust mite. Related to ticks and spiders, they feed on skin flakes, fabric fibers, and dirt particles and are only visible under a microscope. People with dust allergies are actually allergic to the waste these tiny critters produce, not the dust itself!   #Science #Microscope #Biology #LearningIsFun #LearnWithMe
