I didn't.  "Nature's beauty is skin deep."  Underneath the skin is a host of
horrible little uglies, since it is universally true that parasites are not
part of what is deemed beautiful and orderly.  What a bizarre response to
make to such a benign comment on John's part.  Meanwhile, a wild (and
domesticated!) animal's parasites are usually above the skin: ticks, mites,
fleas...
