Tardigrades are called water bears - but to Demodex,
they are the size of a bear, if a bear were as small as a
Tardigrade, and humans - considering themselves in the
moment to be Demodices - shrank equivalently.
Therefore, domesticated herds of Tardigrades will be
slaughtered and skinned;
the hides beaten, cut into
patterns and stitched together with polymerized benzine
with regular Stone-Wales defects for flexibility, into very
small and very durable boxer briefs with no legs that the
Demodex can wear.
These can also be dyed in flourescent or glow-in-the-dark
colors to suit the local fashion around your eyes, and
could accentuate your mascara with very tiny flourescent
specks.

Bun for the title alone, if not more. |
|
|
I put giant tardigrades in my novel but scientific research
removed their planet sadly. |
|
|
I am now in a perpetual state of doubt about the nature of
follicle mite guts. |
|

//humans shrank equivalently.// Would zoology have more or less complexity than it does now? A bigger scale must give more degrees of freedom therefore a more complex range of species. |
|
|
Will they be changing these frequently? Will they lose them in
the wash? Or are they dry-clean only? |
|
|
If my demodex want to wear argyle, but I'm keen on
pinstriping, what then? |
|
|
It would be extremely cool to stick a GFP gene - or a luciferase system - into Demodex, and see your skin light up. |
|
|
Actually, come to think of it, I might try GFP'ing my skin anyway. |
|
|
I looked into it, and realized yes you can buy glowing yeast for beer. But how do you put your skin in a petri dish so it can replicate enough until it is fully glowing? |
|
|
It may just be spreading cream of demodex across your body, so you get at least one in every pore. |
|
|
I have some genome editing tools at my disposal, that would work either on Demodex or (possibly) on skin. |
