You have spiders living inside your face right nowIt sounds grosser than it really is. Researchers initially weren’t sure if all humans hosted mites on their faces, or just some. But new reports have found that all healthy human adults do in fact have colonies of these little guys.So what are they?Mites! Mites are great. Mites are in the class Arachnida (that’s right, arachnid… it’s technically a type of spider), sub class Acari. It’s been estimated that over 48,000 species of mites exist on Earth, but most are too small to see, and are also quite evasive. Because they’re so hard to study, very little is known about them.Only two species are known to inhabit your face: Demodex brevis and Demodex folliculorum. The former inhabits your sweat glands, and the latter inhabits your hair follicles. They feed on your excreted oils, copulate on your face, and lay eggs in your pores. It’s quite fascinating!So, whenever you feel lonely, just remember that thousands of microscopic spiders are banging on your face right now.~Love, RosieImage sources and references:http://bit.ly/1DLXCSLhttp://bit.ly/1GUk1y7 -- source link
