Eight-legged arthropods living on your face.
Every human
carry arthropods on their face, but don’t flip out they aren’t freaky spiders they are microscopic mites somehow like
spiders.
Almost every
human being has them. Scientists have known that we all seem to have
microscopic mites living on our face. But don’t buy a strong scrub to get rid of them because they are harmless.
Our face has
larger number of pores as compare to other body parts. Thousands of mites live
in the pores of the face .
There are two
species of mite that live on your face:Demodex folliculorum and D.brevis.
D.folliculorum
lives in pores and hair follicles while brevis swims in oily sebaceous glands.
The
microscopic mites spend their entire life on human facial skin, where they eat,
mate and then finally die.
The facial
skin of human face is a habitat of thousands of microscopic mites so human body
would be eco-system for thousands of microscopic creatures.
