When we go swimming and spend extended time in water, do the little bugs who live on our skin suffocate and die?

I'm a Demodex folliculorum and I'm currently dating a Demodex brevis so I'm somewhat of an expert. Our host is pretty gross and rarely showers which has made the real estate in this area really expensive. We've been trying to move to another host but the opportunity hasn't come up yet. Anyway, to answer your question, we have scuba gear.

Thanks for the insight, Greg.

That smell. I recognise that smell. It’s the smell of pants on fire.
