Tiny mites that live on cheese. All cheese is supposed to have them crawling over it and eating it - and leaving their bodily wastes in it.
There's a nice illustration of one on the following site, it's the second one down:

It's strange- I have only been vegan for around 2 months or so but now when I see cheese, I really think it looks horrid. My stomach turns!
Even on pizza, which I never thought would happen!!
All this talk of mites is giving me the itchies *shivver*
It's not like your entire body isn't covered in the things anyway. Mites are more or less unavoidablePeas'nHominy

I know. They teach about that kind of stuff in the 5th grade. They don't say anything about the cheese, though. I just hadn't heard about that one yet.sinister kungfu
Are you vegan? It looks like this is your first post.
I am, and it is. I've lurked for a while but I just got around to registering yesterday.Peas'nHominy
