Who do the Demodex Mites affect?  

The mites can infest anyone of any age. Studies have shown that 97% of adults have demodex mites with the majority of cases going unnoticed. Another study found that 90% of acne in teenagers is caused by these parasites.

What are the symptoms?  

Since Demodex Mites are so small, they are often overlooked. As many as 25 mites have been observed in a single hair follicle. Large colonies can sometimes be noticed by a slight itchiness on the scalp, ears, forehead, and hair line. Adult females will lay around 20 eggs inside a human skin pore. They eat skin cells and sebaceous oils, causing hair to become brittle and fall. Their bites can cause infection and irritation that often lead to acne and rosacea. Since they lack anuses they cannot get rid of feces, and their abdomen will continue to grow. When they die and decompose, they release all of their feces at once inside the skin pore. These toxins can trigger immune reactions, inflammation, and tissue damage.
