The issue of New Scientist that just arrived has an article about research
showing that children carry dust mites on their scalps, and suggesting that
parents of asthmatic children consider using anti-dandruff shampoo to
reduce the quanity of skin flakes available to the mites.
Well, first it was pin worms--then head lice--now this! Guess I better
avoid reading that book, "Life on Man" or I'll be completely grossed out.
