Do you know something crawls out of your face when you’re asleep at night?
If your face suddenly feels itchy while reading this, don’t worry because I felt the same way when reading about skin mites.
They are called arachnids, also known as face mites, they look like ticks.
They are on every adult’s face, don’t be scared, they live a peaceful life in the face pores of adults.
According to reports, they are not found on babies and are considered to be transmitted through motherly contact.
These face mites have eight legs and are transparent and microscopic.
They live in the roots of facial hair follicles on both men and women, deep down in the pores.
Their meal is the oil your face produces, that’s what they feed on, they sleep by day and crawl out at night when one is asleep.
They crawl on the surface of the skin to mate, the part of your face that harbors more oil is where they are most likely to be found.
According to studies, face mites are not harmful when in a smaller number, until their number increases exceedingly then a skin disease known as demodicosis (red or white patch on the skin) would occur. According to a dermatologist, most people live peacefully with their face mites until old age, they also have no anus, so they store their poo in their bodies until their death.
