On today's Alley Oaf 6 January 2021

 So now we see that they are the size realm of a paramecium, which are .002 to .013 inch in size. That would make Doc and the stooges about 5 times that size, meaning they are still microscopic in size, almost invisible to the naked eye. That's getting really small, but they really need to get even smaller, to subatomic size, so we would be done with them forever. Crossing my fingers. 🤞

So, it will be interesting how this resolves. Maybe the strip will dry up and blow away when whatever this moisture is dries up.
