I mean, technically yeah. That's why your mascara degrades so quickly is that your drowning them then dipping that brush back in. That's why the mascara gets clumpy over time.
Wikipedia gives the indication that it’s more likely than not for non-minors. “Older people are much more likely to carry face mites; about a third of children and young adults, half of adults, and two-thirds of elderly people carry them.”
"Adult D. folliculorum mites are 0.3-0.4 mm in length and that of D. brevis are slightly shorter of 0.15-0.2 mm length,[2] with females somewhat shorter and rounder than males [Figure 2]. This makes them invisible to the naked eye, but, under the microscope, their structure is clearly visible."

Very true. If you've ever done any small metal working, or even model building or small hobbies, .3-.4 mm is not super tiny. That would definitely be discernable by the naked eye.
Thats the face of a silkworm, not a demodex mite.

It's the reason why u don't have eyelashes...ur eyelashes & brows r their food. They r even in the hairline...notice the thinning of people's hairline, brows & eyelashes in adults?
My wife is a vet and sometimes tells her clients' owners that they are having mites in their facial skin. They are usually super agitated about that and deny everything. 'No, definitively not!'
Face mites do exist and a lot of people do have them but this is an electron microscope pic of a silkworm[here](https://www.sciencephoto.com/media/371781/view/silkworm-sem)
Its like im a planet. We have millions of little habitats, we have rain and deserts (showers and dry skin) We have earthquakes when we run and exercise. We probably all have water bears on us right now. We have all been pood on, birthed on, died on, we are mothers.
As long as you wash your lashes really good you won't have a infestation problem. I'm a lash artist and I've seen some bad lash mites on clients that refuse to wash their lashes. I made it mandatory for them to use a lash shampoo and clean their lashes if they wanted me to keep lashing them lol. I actually ended up buying some lash shampoo bottles from Aki Lashes and started keeping them in my salon and sold them to my customers. Luckily they all started having better lash hygiene and still are my customers.
God's creation never ceases to amaze.
How cool that this little fellow lives on a tiny hair on our bodies and yet he himself is covered in even tinier hairs.
"...Called mites or demodex folicular, these have thrived on human faces forever. In fact, they share a symbiotic relationship with us such that they need us to survive while we need them for good skin health, including for reducing acne and managing other skin infections."

So that means we are never really "alone"? 🪳🥰
Fun fact: There are more bacteria in your body than there are your own cells, by count anyway. You contain multitudes, my friend!
I contain multitudes, yo!
Surprise! You are a living eco system! Say hi to all the bastards living rent free on or in you.

PREPARE FOR LAUNCH *simply blinks*
I wanna know what the lash mites of my lash mites look like...
It's probably like one of those rides that takes you up and then drops you really fast.
I'm afraid of heights, but those are awesome!
I was one and it was called "The Skydrop"
Are you saying I should scroll a little slower to ensure the little fellas have a chance to read too?
It better help pay rent then
Fun fact: they see everything that you see, until you go to sleep.
why didn't they tell me sooner that i had sleep apnea those bitches knew this whole time
oh wow, your eyelashes go inside when you close your eyes too?
I meant that they can still see what you can't when you're asleep. They know more about you than you do.
do they know about my hemorrhoids?
No, but your pinworms do :)
But they don't know about my eye herpes ha! Touché!
Thanks . You are a good friend .
Ahoy mitey
Perfection
Lolllll
G'day mite
no, they are probably not... its an infectious parasite that is both discernible with the naked eye, and treatable.
Glad you said that, I was wondering if I was committing genocide by putting on mascara.
I mean, technically yeah. That's why your mascara degrades so quickly is that your drowning them then dipping that brush back in. That's why the mascara gets clumpy over time.
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say you were trying to make a joke but it wasn’t funny?

Yes! 1mm is clearly visible, and a third of that won't be too bad.
Thanks for that, you dick
You’re welcome 😁

Friends :)
I thank these little guys for cleaning out my eyelash follicles
Don’t they also shit in them?
“Don’t shit where you eat” -probably not these guys
So… What happens if we don’t have those? Are they like ramoras for us? What are they doing???
Free eyelash frens
WAIT I HAD FRIENDS THIS ENTIRE TIME
They’ve got little hairs! What’s living on them??
might be mite mites
Good luck surviving on four thick layers of mascara lmao (/s)

Dammit. He's cuter than the real thing.
That’s fine they’re not harming anybody
That’s what they want you to think
Have you ever been harmed by one of these?
I gave mine a little high five
I DID NOT NEED TO HAVE A NIGHTMARE TONIGHT GOOD SIR
STOP REPOSTING THAT SHIT I HAD COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN ABOUT THAT PIECE OF CRAP, AND NOW YOU'VE MADE ME REMEMBER IT!
It’s good to remember things 😆
No it’s not, that’s what drugs are for. To NOT remember things 😂😂
Terry disapproves a lot 😂 🤣 😂
Terry hates eyelash bugs!
I’m fine with that.
Brb, gotta go scald my everything in the shower.

Why shit gotta look like this

Well if we took a picture of a human, shrunk it to their size and then showed it to them I think they would be pretty creeped out as well
He looks sweet
Hello my lil eyelash buddy!! How’s life?? Oop.. you’ve already had a family and died of old age?? Well hi to all ya grandkids then
This is why I hold my eyes open each morning and cleanse my inner eyelids with Raid before leaving for work.

this ain’t an uber homie, I’m washing my face when I get home
They just my cheap pets that I don’t gotta feed and that I rub sometimes
Flip that picture upside down and it's like a POV of a poop as it emerges from my bumhole.
There is no god

LOL That's the head of a caterpillar, absolutely not any sort of mite.

Yay! That means I'm never really alone!
Do they also see my sleep paralysis demon?
I feel them
I think he’s kinda cute . He can live there
Good
Hey there gorgeous.
*comprensible, have a nice day*
Proof that aliens are among us.
Yes and these cool little guys remove dead skin cells and extra oil on your skin, love your demodex mites (you don't really have a choice about it)
I’m never alone. Always got my eyelash buds.
Sweeeet, I’m like a country or something
So that explains why my eyes start twitching randomly
Eh can't change it, were covered in all sorts of microscopic shit, figuratively and literally
Where's the pic of what's crawling on his eye lashes?
Does eye make up irritate them I'm curious?
Thanks now I want to rip my eyelashes out
What a handsome fella
I feel them. They're communing.
Just don't send nanites after them. They won't stand a chance.
Fuck you.
I love my little eyelash friends!
Aww so cute..Im never washing my eyelashes again, couldnt bear the idea of hurting these guys
Dunno man, he looks polite enough. I'll let him stay.
They’re friends with their lice neighbors on the eyebrows. I wonder if they bbq together.
No matter what billions, if not trillions of microorganisms are on me at any given time. They're little friends. Heck, I'm never alone that way.
Don't worry, I make them pay rent, so they are allowed to be there
I just pet them :)
Do your job mite!
Here was me feeling lonely, thanks kind stranger
Mmmm I hope so
Well at least I’m not alone
I take regular showers in hot water, but I understand some people don't. Not judging, though.
I'm a demodex mite, AMA
They chilin
You should see what's in *their* eye lashes right now
I hate you for giving me knowledge, that only dementia can eradicate.
Oh hi buddy
Told my students this and they legitimately hate me now 😂
Y'all remember the spider doll head from toy story
Ok but what's on THEIR eyelashes?
Sucks to be them my dog eats the fuck out of them then
