In the small town of Würchwitz, Germany, mites get locked in wooden boxes with a soft, unaged white cheese known as quark. As the mites feast, they ripen the cheese. But even after theyve completed their work, these microscopic arachnids arent off the hook: Diners eat the cheese with the critters still covering the rind.

I am adding the drumming emoji because there isn't a "sick to my stomach" emoji.

and was named Mitey Mouse! Actually, the human race has a very powerful digestive tract design
that allows us to consume an extremely varied diet that is enjoyed by many but is gross to some.
More mite cheese for me!
