EEeeeeeeeuuuuuuuuuuugggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!:gag:

Ain't nature wonderful? :)

I like the last line on that report....

Just pretend they're not there!!!

Well i could do that very well until I knew about them and saw pictures of them and read descriptions of how they live feed and breed.

thanks very much!!!!!!!

How cool are those little guys. I might start naming mine. Have to find them first though.

If you think face mites are bad, you should see the stuff that lives on your toothbrush! ;)

When I woke up this morning I didn't know that wee beasties had been holding a party on my face all night long.

Still, interesting nonetheless. I'll have to find one of those clean freaks and then tell 'em about their facial lodgers! Good find Don.

I once had "Teeth Mites"

Knew nothing about them until one morning I woke up like THIS (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v689/viking99/forums/saycheese.jpg) Not for the faint hearted

Hey folks - the next time you snog a beardie you might be eating their Dermodex !

:gag:

I actually found this googling for 'mange' - this is the human-preferred relation of the creature that causes mange in pets.

:suspect: makes ya kind itchy dunnit?

errrrrr its mingin!

Ughh! Well after reading that I'll ensure I continue to use my face wash and toner. Makes you think about what is living on our pets.

I wonder if they call us "The Earth" :)

I use face wipes

Errrrr .... thank you so much for sharing that :hihi:

When you go to sleep, I wonder if the face mites and the dust mites on the pillow start having a big fight to see who gets to eat all the dead skill cells?

I wonder if they call us "The Earth" :)

Imagine if they develop technology & science & start dumping toxic waste & pollution all over us.


And mining! :gag: :hihi:

cool! the one in the last pic looks kinda cute... almost...

err, i'll shut up now..

Heh

Wimps.


This is what I have living on my face! (http://www.solarnavigator.net/animal_kingdom/animal_images/Tiger_panthera_tigris_tigris_Bengal.jpg)

*sigh*

Trust you Jabbers.. There's always one.

We are part of the ecosystem, we are not exempt from having passengers of all sorts and if we try to lose them all we get a separate set of health problems and illnesses caused by their absence.

*sigh*

Just be grateful I didnt show you whats living on my bum!

Just shows you that we`re not as divorced from nature as we like to think we are.
We`re just another animal even though we sometimes dont like to admit that.

hehe! I carry the plague..... maybe you should all feel some pity for me?

*awaits the insults*

I wonder what lives on the faces of face mites...

"Just pretend they're not there! "

Yeah....right :D

mmm, lovely looking creatures

I had a lovely book of these creatures once. I lent it to someone; next day he gave it back - in 3 plastic bags inside each other, thoroughly sealed with tape - and he was wearing rubber gloves. His wife had got cleaners in, to try and disinfest the house!
I tried to tell him they were just pictures, but this couple blamed my book for making them itchy, and it went on for weeks!

I wonder if they call us "The Earth" :)

Put the heating on...lets treat them to some global warming :hihi:

Luckily I will never know because I can't open it!

Google Demodex folliculorum, or the demodicid,

You're determined nobody is going to miss out on this little treat, aren't you? :hihi:

:hihi:

Caring is sharing dear heart! :hihi:

As much as I am intrigued by the links on this thread, I daren't look at the pics that have been added as I am gonna be having my tea in a little while. Wimpish I know but maybe I will look later on!
