I knew about these little arachnids from before (saw them on TV, you know?), but I had no idea they were beneficial. I have bad complexion and oily skin, regardless (or maybe because of) my attempts to remedy it with creams & septic solutions. \*Where can I git me sum bugggs??? \*

Go to a bar, find somebody with really good skin, go up to him/her and say, “Hi, you’re really pretty, would you rub your face all over mine?”

**Skeptico** , when you start a new thread, it’s helpful to others if you provide a link to the Staff Report or Column that you’re commenting on. Saves other readers lots of time searching, keeps us all on the same page, etc. No biggie, you’ll know for next time, and I’ve edited a link into your starter-post.
