We have bugs that perch on our eyelashes?

New fact of life: tiny spider-like bugs emerge from your pores and crawl over your face during the night. Often, we don?t know it, because we remain asymptomatic, however, in some people, an infestation occurs, creating a host of problems. If you suspect that a demodex infestation is responsible for creating problems on your skin and eyes, don?t despair, there?s plenty you can do to get the situation under control.

Demodex is what we call the mites found living in the human face. These eight-legged mites are often found on the forehead, cheeks, sides of the nose, eyelashes, and outside of the ear canal. When people experience an infestation of demodex mites, they are suffering from a condition called demodicosis.

These mites hate the light, so they emerge at night, mating on opening of the hair follicle of your eyelashes. They like to lay their eggs either on the sebaceous glands or in your eyebrow or eyelash hair follicles. Within 4 days, these eggs hatch into 6-legged larvae. After 7 days, these larvae will turn into full-grown adult mites, ready to mate and continue the infestation cycle. The demodex mite lifespan is usually 2 to 3 weeks.

Demodex mites are most often found on older children and adults. Demodex mites are rarely found in younger children, as they have yet to develop enough sebum to feed the mites.
