    Eww, another reason to get rid of snake mites! If correct, this article from a seemingly reliable source says they can get on humans too! I was actually
    searching for an article that talks about where -what countries?- snake mites are found in nature. This article claims they are worldwide, while I've previously
    found that the distribution, so far, does not include the U.S.A.-? You'll notice at the very top this comes from NIH, the Nation Institute of Health.
