Eye Lash Bugs(Parasites)

Alright so I know that theres little parasites or bugs or whatever on your eyelash or something and I've known this for a while but I just got to thinking and Where do they come from? How do they get there? Are they dangerous? and Can you get rid of them?

Thanks for clearing all these up for me. Am I even posting in the right place?

LOL Val!

As for your question...

There are bugs allllllll over you. You just can't see 'em, and most aren't worth worrying about, muchless worrying about how to get rid of them.

Okay, I stand corrected. I've just had a chat-room full of people tell me we have bugs all over our bodies. I'm going to go bathe again.

Great now I feel all dirty. uhhhh

Here is one that i know well called howard
www.wcsscience.com...

Demodex folliculorum, or the demodicid, is a tiny mite, less than 0.4 mm long, that lives in your pores and hair follicles, usually on your nose, forehead, cheek, and chin, and often in the roots of your eyelashes. Demodicids have a wormlike appearance, with legs that are mere stumps. That's a picture of one on the left.

People with oily skin, or those who use cosmetics heavily and don't wash thoroughly, have the heaviest infestations ... but most adults carry a few demodicids and their eggs. Inflammation and infection often result when large numbers of these mites congregate in a single follicle.

You shouldn't... it's always been that way, you just didn't know it. You'll soon forget

well....... I did want to know so thanks to you all who replied

I don't usually like thinking about all the little bugs living on our bodies. I heard there may be millions of the little critters in bed with us and in our pillows at night. Sleep good. I wonder if a new topic could be developed to discuss bug wars and tactics.
