You must have come in late. There have been plenty of references quoted,
and I don't mean 'The Observer', but refereed scientific ones.
Since 'hay mites' is a completely new one to me, perhaps you would like
to tell us the paper it referred to, I mean the scientific refereed one?

The mediafest scare story seems to be dredging the barrel. You were
aware that almost all dairy farms don't feed hay, but silage?
I think you have been had!
