INSUFFICIENT LEANING

Recorded sources

0 sources for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Tardigrades live on the skin of humans?

Unclear. Two reference sources describe tardigrade habitats as mountaintops, deep sea, rainforests, Antarctica and hot springs, but neither addresses whether tardigrades live on human skin. No retrieved item directly settles the claim either way.
