An infestation of demodex mites can lead to various skin issues, primarily affecting the face and eyelids. Symptoms may include redness, itching, inflammation, and the development of acne-like lesions or rosacea. In severe cases, it can exacerbate existing skin conditions and cause discomfort. Additionally, demodex mites can contribute to blepharitis, an inflammation of the eyelid margins.

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

All dogs have Demodex canis mites as part of their normal 'commensal' flora. However other factors (such as underlying diseases or stress) can cause an infestation leading to disease. This can leading to scaly skin, hair loss and papules or pustules on the face, neck, shoulders or limbs. If you're concerned take your dog to the vets they can treat with a mixture of antibiotics and insecticides. Sometimes the disease may spontaneously regress when the underlying causal factor (such as stress) is removed.

What are dermadex mites?
Dermadex mites, commonly referred to as Demodex mites, are tiny parasitic arachnids that inhabit the hair follicles and sebaceous glands of humans and various animals. There are two primary species, Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis, which are generally harmless and part of the normal skin flora. However, an overgrowth of these mites can lead to skin conditions such as rosacea or dermatitis. They are typically more prevalent in individuals with compromised immune systems or oily skin.
What mite bites or irritates eyelash follicles?
Demodex mites, particularly Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis, are known to inhabit hair follicles, including those of eyelashes. These microscopic mites can cause irritation and inflammation, leading to conditions like blepharitis, which is characterized by redness, itching, and crusting of the eyelids. Poor hygiene, oily skin, and certain skin conditions can exacerbate their proliferation, resulting in discomfort and potential eyelash follicle irritation.
Will freezing make up kill human demodex mites?
Freezing can effectively kill human demodex mites, as extreme cold temperatures can disrupt their cellular structure and metabolism. However, the specific conditions, such as the duration and temperature of freezing, are crucial for efficacy. While freezing may reduce their population, it may not eliminate them entirely if not done properly. Regular skincare and hygiene practices are also important in managing demodex mites.
