Hi :)

Had to reply as I have never seen anyone else mention this.

My first experience of it was when my dd came home from school after a science lesson and said "Isn't it strange how you can see the molecules in the air!" She was about 9. Cue a long discussion about how things look lol.

She's now 16 and still mentions it from time to time but has mostly learnt to live with it. I think so long as you know it can't make you ill or cause any damage then perhaps that's the best thing.

Hope it isn't too distressing for you
