The Unknown Micro World : Dust Mites

Most of us never think about the little creatures that live throughout our lives. I am not talking about the worms or the ants, but the organisms even smaller than that, the ones that live in the Micro World. As the video featured below illustrates, these microorganisms are EVERYWHERE, and it makes me itchy just thinking about what they do and where they do it.

However, it is important to understand that these organisms are not harming us but simply making use of what is abundant just like every other creature on this planet. In the case of the dust mites, they feed off of dead skin flakes that fall off our skin by the millions everyday. If carbon dioxide were more abundant than oxygen thousands of years ago, maybe that's what we would need to breathe to survive. As it is, oxygen is more abundant although many would argue that this is changing.

Nevertheless, the point is that we are all functioning much in the same way as these microorganisms do. If we want to reach any stable level of sustainability, we must accept that although these organisms may freak most of us out, they have helped us survive as a species.
