This story calls for a little Heywood Banks

When the shades of night are falling and you climb into your bed
There is no need for loneliness and crying —
For there’s always someone with you, even in the darkest night,
And though you cannot see them, I’m not lying...
Teeny little dust mites, ultra tiny dust mites,
‘Bout 2 million in the average bed,
Bunches of them dust mites,
Munchin’ little dust mites
Snuggled warm and cozy ‘neath your head.
There are little eight-legged daddy mites and mama mites and baby mites,
Doing what a mite might like to do.
And you can wash the sheet or spray the mat or beat the bed with a baseball bat,
They will stay no matter what you do...
A friend of mine, Roger Knudson, who was a entymologist at
Michigan State University, wrote a book about this subject.
The title is: “Furtive Fauna”.It is about the creatures that live on our bodies. I won’t go into detail, but, it is fascinating.
And you hit them with some global warming every time you take a hot shower...
It must be pretty damned boring in those mite-towns.
I know their universe is expanding though.
I have read that if we didn’t have mites in our eyebrows, we would be constantly having problems with infected hairs and dandruff falling into our eyes. It’s actually a very symbiotic relationship, like the one we have with “good” bacteria in our digestive systems.
I asked the doctor why I sneeze so loudly. He said I had dyno-mites.
Some people are reputed to be allergic to demodex mites.
The allergy can manifest as acne rosacea.
It can be treated with things like coconut oil and diatamaceous earth.
It isn’t caused by being dirty just unlucky
Lots of info over on curezone about this
I’d like to thank the Latin Post for this informative article on tiny-insect, parasitic skin-infestations, AND I’d like to be the first to welcome our new, mitey, nasal Overlords.
If you spray your face with Raid will it kill them?
