Who knows about Demodex Mites human variety. Not the animal type. They are different.?
Demodex is a genus of tiny parasitic mites that live in or near hair follicles of mammals. About 65 species of Demodex are known; they are among the smallest of arthropods.Demodex canis lives on the domestic dog. Infestation with Demodex is common and usually does not cause any symptoms, although occasionally some skin diseases can be caused by the mites.Two species living on humans have been identified: Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis, both frequently referred to as eyelash mites. Both species are primarily found in the face, near the nose, the eyelashes and eyebrows, but also occur elsewhere on the body.In the vast majority of cases, the mites go unobserved, without any adverse symptoms, but in certain cases (usually related to a suppressed immune system, caused by stress or illness) mite populations can dramatically increase, resulting in a condition known as demodicosis or Demodex mite bite, characterised by itching, inflammation and other skin disorders. Blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids) can also be caused by Demodexmites. There is some evidence linking Demodex mites to some forms of the skin disease rosacea, possibly due to the bacterium Bacillus oleronius found in the mites

Is there a bug that lives in your eyelash?
Yes, it could be a crab louse, which can also live in your eyelashes. the eyelash mite does indeed live between eye lashes. Belonging to the family Demodicidae and first described by Owen (1864) and Simon (1892), Demodex folliculorum is one of two species of microscopic mites now considered to be ubiquitously present on humans. Both mites, D.folliculorum and D.brevis, are host-specific obligate ectoparasites living respectively in the niche environments of hair follicles and sebaceous glands around the face and head. Generally their presence goes totally unnoticed but in some cases heavy infestations are believed to be the cause of certain forms of hair loss and such skin

Yes , Demodex or Eyelash mites do live on your eyelashes : not to worry - they are harmless .
what can you do to rid yourself of an infestation of demodex on your head and hair and face?
Most people (roughly half of adults, and up to 2/3 of the elderly) have Demodex without it causing any symptoms or problems.You could see a dermatologist. Dogs get a different species of Demodex, and in severe cases they're generally treated with either Ivermectin or amitraz, so I'm sure there must be an antiparasitic that would work on the species that commonly live on humans.
