> Their reproductive organs have moved anteriorly, and males have a penis that protrudes upwards from the front of their body meaning they have to position themselves underneath the female when mating, and copulate as they both cling onto the human hair. Does this mean they’ll die off relatively quickly if all body hair is cut off? Or does this happen beneath the skin?

I used it - it works great!

As a totally unrelated aside, would one be able to express that distinction using "of" versus "off"?
Of shows a relationship. The Queen of the UK. Get rid of the mites on my face!

Ivermectin cream. They are believed to cause rosacea, but are typically harmless if not beneficial.
>Ivermectin cream. For a moment I thought it was a joke. Such are the times.
