I saw all the proof I needed of the existence of these parasites while washing my bras one day. Because the washing machine will distort and shorten the life of them, I hand wash my bras in a plastic bucket. I let them soak for a while first and that is when I noticed all these tiny black specks scattered over one of them. At first I thought it was just fuzz balls until I realized that they appeared to be all the same size. I collected a few of them and looked at them under a microscope....YIKES! These nasty little hair monsters were even within the closed up side panels of my bras, thousands of them. I am certain they are a parasite, one which I am desperate to be rid of.
