I've been aware of such things for a while. To put it in perspective, our bodies are comprised of individual cells that all have accepted living for the common goal of keeping that body viable -even if it means their own death. Some are programmed to do so by genetics, and some, like those in our guts, do so partly for their own reasons and partly because if they get out of line other cells respond and attack. Rogue cells, such as cancer cells that want to dominate at the expense of others, have "forgotten" the greater goal.
In short, the cells within us are socialist. However, that socialism is limited to the survival of the body. Once the community of cells is threatened, only those that support it in some way are tolerated. It is an evolutionary concept.

LOL! 
I know our bodies are crawling with "bugs" but I never heard of the demodex mite. |
