Megan Thoemmes, a graduate student at North Carolina State University, told NPR. 'They're actually pretty cute.

'With their eight little legs, they look like they're almost swimming through the oil.'

'It's like having friends with you all the time,' Thoemmes says.

No Megan. It's not.

You would be surprised at all the types of creatures and bugs crawling all over your body all the time. There is no way to avoid it.

Sleep tight and don't let the beard bugs bite.

It said 100% of people, not 100% of men, so ladies you're not safe either!

Good breakfast thread.

Most people who can properly rock facial hair aren't likely to be worried about microscopic bugs.

Yeah I don't think it matters if you have a beard or not.

We need a poster who can lend her bug expertise to this thread. Too bad we don't have one of those...

the article says they feed on the oils that our faces discrete. So, you could argue that the fewer of these little creatures you have on your face, the more oily your face will be.

You could argue: These little guys are helping teenager get dates. A lack of microscopic creatures = pimples.

Reading this thread makes my entire body itchy.

I will take tiny organisms in my beard over the alternative of not having a beard and looking like a freaking child.

 

[CloneIce]

Sweet, I hope they like barbecue and beer.

You look like a freaking child without a beard?

Exxon looking into ways of eliminating these so they can claim the oil rights.

I'm sure there are posters on this thread with bugs on other hairy parts of their body...
