Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
To the naked eye, there isn't much difference between a grain of sand and the sand flea! Also known as jiggers or chigoes, sand fleas are the smallest species of flea in the world at only 1 mm (0.03 in) long, although they can grow up to 1 cm (0.39 in) once buried beneath the skin of their host.
