SPOILER ALERT FOR SEO:

This episode is all about surprising new science on demodex folliculorum (aka face mites) and the skin microbiome as a whole.

Guests include:

Dr. Rob Dunn, a professor of applied ecology from North Carolina State University, who ran the lab which discovered the ubiquity of face mites.

Dr. James Hamblin, an M.D., public health policy researcher, journalist, and guy who didn't shower for two years. He wrote a book on the skin microbiome called, "Clean: the New Science of Skin."

Molly Taylor, a delightfully self-aware friend with a mite problem. She's also a brilliant creative who currently works as a copywriter at Wondros.
