Even the cleanest house is a habitat for micromonsters! But don't worry, most are harmless. This revealing volume takes readers on a meet-and-greet tour of the tiniest organisms that live in people's homes. Full-page photographs of alien-like creatures in high-magnification will amaze, while "Monstrous Data" tables and "Gross or What?" boxes both astound and educate. Future biologists will come to appreciate that life is all around, no matter how many times we wash, but there are things we can do to keep ourselves safe from the more harmful "micromonsters."
