One little known fact that can be mildly disturbing is that there are small mites called Demodex that live in the pores of our skin, particularly in the face, and feed on the oils produced by our skin. These mites are microscopic and are usually harmless, but in some cases they can cause skin irritation and even infections.
While this fact is backed by scientific research and has been known for a long time, some people refuse to believe it because they find it unsettling to think that they have tiny organisms living on their skin. However, it's important to remember that this is a natural occurrence and most people have these mites on their skin without even realizing it.
