Kind of funny to me when humans are saddled with instincts which, historically over millions of years, offered a net-benefit to survival. And yet now in certain circumstances of modern day living just result in a doctor going, "yeah, so don't do that."
As hairless and warm-blooded creatures, we surely, I imagine, have been highly susceptible to parasites attached to our skin.
As creatures with dexterous opposable digits and fine-tuned motor skills, we surely, I imagine, have been able to fight back against this parasite blight by detecting the parasites on our skin and picking them entirely off.
And yet. When there is a highly unauthorized blemish. On skin. You """"shouldn't"""" """"pick at it"""" because that's """not the way to deal with acne""". Which is advice from someone who just sounds like they're jealous because their ancestors weren't nearly as skilled at skin parasite eradication.
