Found out about these when I was a kid. I was thrilled. When I was very little, my mom owned a grooming shop, and I basically had 1 million pets. Then she closed down, and we just had our dog and a cat. Weird little 5 year old me loved the idea that I had thousands of little pets that's slept on my face and came out to play while I slept

That's the best possible reaction to this :)

I will admit that since I've started wearing glasses, my eyes often burn really badly (I don't know if they're related or just weird timing), and I sometimes wonder if my little friends are pissed about the change and getting into my eyes. Lol

Maybe you're allergic to something in your glasses

[-] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 days ago

That's interesting. I hadn't really considered that. It really only happens towards the end of the day, I just assumed it was a buildup of oils/skin cells/daily detritus that isn't getting either blown away by air, because the lenses are blocking it, or dried out for the same reason. They're Zenni frames and lenses

Do you wear a belt? Do you develop a rash on your underbelly where it touches the buckle?

Can you guess how I learned I was allergic to nickel?

[-] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 days ago

Nope, no rashes that I've noticed. But I stopped wearing a belt last year. No good for my body shape. Lol. Swapped it for suspenders, so now I look like a simple country lawyer. Lmao
