Demodex Mites Eat Until They Die

A whole ecosystem that you have never seen is currently there on your face. Demodex mites, which are microscopic, are probably having a ball in your pores and hair follicles while eating on your oils and secretions. It's thought that having an excessive number of these little creatures living inside your body contributes to skin problems like rosacea. The approach of how and why this occurs is quite strange and somewhat unsettling.

The likelihood of having the mites increases with age, and they appear to be spread by close physical contact. They prefer oily skin and are most frequently encountered on the face. And although though they may enjoy living on your face and consuming the cells around your hair follicles and the oil you secrete, they lack an anus, so they are unable to expel the food they consume. The mites can't expel waste, so as they get larger and larger while feeding, they eventually die and leave their nasty remains in your flesh.
