Reply to comment by ParadiseValleyFiend in TIL recent research shows the demodex mite, which lives on most humans' skin, has an anus. Contradicting earlier findings. by AudibleNod

Science is pretty good at taking some random information and synthesizing it into something useful or exploring something else new.

Further in the same article they look at the demodex genome and speculate it's at an evolutionary dead-end. Who knows, maybe we can use that against dangerous bacteria or guinea worms.
