What are mites

2022-11-22

Speaking of mites, everyone should be familiar with them. There are endless news about mites on the internet. A recent news made many people afraid again.

Three things you should know about mites

Everyone has mites.

The mites are hard to see with the naked eye and can't be touched at all. Scientists used to observe mites through microscope and concluded that only 12-25% of adults have mites on their faces. So many people think that only a few people have mites.

With the progress of technology, scientists try to collect the DNA of mites to determine how many adults have mites. The final result showed that the DNA of mites could be detected on each participant's face, which confirmed that there were mites on everyone's face.

Don't be disgusted. Everyone has bugs.

Mites care about each other, but they are different.

In nature, mites are a large group, divided into various families, including subfamilies and genera. In our daily life, most of the "mite removal" we say refers to dust mites. This mite can cause allergic diseases, such as asthma and allergic rhinitis. There are two common mites on human skin: demodex folliculorum and demodex sebum. The former exists in hair follicles and the latter in sebaceous glands.

No symptoms, no need to remove mites

First of all, the mites we are talking about here are demodex (demodex folliculorum and demodex sebum), not dust mites. It is normal to have demodex on your face. In most cases, don't care too much, unless there are corresponding symptoms.

In theory, the massive reproduction of demodex will cause some skin diseases. Acne, rosacea, blepharitis, pruritus of external auditory canal and other diseases may be related to demodex. If the above symptoms occur, you can see the dermatologist of the hospital in time.
