---> Study was small sample size and in one location. However they infest your sebaceous glands.

---> there is some links to Acne Rosacea and dry eye.

Most of you over 40 likely have tiny mites all over your face/ eyelashes

If anyone wants to learn more about parasites I highly recommend Parasite Rex by Carl Zimmer. Fascinating and horrifying reading! Although after reading the thread about spiders it seems most of CP has the constitution of a 6 year old whens it comes to creepy crawlies.
