If they'd be grossed out, and they're of the highly intelligent kind, they will also be intrigued and want to look further into the purpose.

or is that just your stupid bug covered monkey brained idea of what a highly intelligent kind of being would do? what if they're huge perverts? you don't know
Whitestride t1_ja14wgj wrote
If they are scientific in any sense, they wanna catalog everything, know everything, even if it grosses em out. Both opinions are a potential though.

what if thoughts can be like viruses? and we must protect ourselves from them?

Kinda already the case with mental illness haha. For some anywho.
Imagine a higher being fixing that problem quickly, oh these neuron pathways are all wrong, and done, then they ask some weird questions since they did something for you.

Tiny janitors. This is why I smash birthday cake and feces into my eyes once a year as a thank you to my eyelash mites.

Think of them as cleaners. Without those mites your eyelashes would be covered in dead eyelid/brow skin.

Thank god we’re still comparing the mentally ill to viruses. I was afraid we’d been humanizing them too much.

Imagine the kind of jack-asses that would have never ending orgies all over your face, but not show even a shred of decency and invite you to participate.

You should really consider lighting your face on fire as part of a failed eyelash mite gender reveal party.

We have humans who have super disgusting kinks. I'm sure there are aliens with crazy kinks out there too.

Apparently cats can see spots on humans we can't normally see and they like us ok. It's probably the selfie/TikTok videos.

My dermatologist told me there's a theory that rosacea is caused by sensitivity/allergy to these mites. He said Ivermectin (of purported COVID-cure fame) has been successfully used to treat rosacea b/c it's an anti-parasitic.
Which led me to wonder how people decided that an anti-parasitic could treat a viral illness.
And, to wonder whether people with oily faces are drowning the little buggers.

Some Alzheimer drugs were firstly designed as a anti influenza medication.
Antimalaria drugs are used for autoimmune diseases.
It's not a long shot assuming that a anti-parasitic drug can be used to treat viral illness. Other research has shown Ivermectin to have in vitro efficacy vs some viruses.
Unfortunately, it didn't work so we're left with far more expensive medications or medications that have some sort of anti-HIV activity, with the potential to increase HIV resistance as HIV is a virus that mutates too rapidly.

Why would you want to? I hate to break it to you but there are MANY creatures actively living in you and on you right now. It is just a part of being a large organism on planet Earth.
sryii t1_ja8ipcl wrote
Ivermectin can inhibit some functions of integrins which are needed to bring viral sequences into the nucleus. We actually knew it could inhibit other viruses from infecting cells prior to COVID-19. So we gave it a shot and while it CAN do it in cell culture it doesn't work in a full organism, at least not in a safe dose.

What if aliens can see all the bugs on our skin and that's why they don't contact us, because they think we're super gross?
