The wonders of CHEESE MITES! Small arthropods found living on the surface of naturally aged cheese where fungi are also present. In this case, found on the surface of Cantal…and now on our cheese cutting machine.(…and perhaps in Alyssa's hair after I sprinkle some on her when she turns around?). These mites are naturally found in soil where they feed on fungi and can also be found in foods where fats and proteins are abundant! WOW!
