name for 'dirt worms'
Hi - is there a term for those 'worms' that are produced when you're filthy and sweaty and you roll your hand over your skin? I can't find a name for them on the net.

Btw, apropos of not much, I like this word for fingernail dirt - []

 * Not the same thing, but consider this explanation for a similar phenomenon made famous by a Beatles song. -- Jayron 32 11:45, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
