Demodex folliculorum
D. folliculorum loves you and you have no idea that he even exists, much like that girl you liked in high school. You heartbreaking asshole. If you do know about this fellow you probably think he’s gross and creepy (again much like that girl thought of you). D. folliculorum is one of two species of adorably named face mites (the other being D. brevis). This small mite spends its time snuggling into your hair follicles where it feeds off your dead skin, hormones, oils and other skin secretions. Also they’re incredibly common with half of all adults being home to these critters. Another reason you may be unfamilar with D. folliculorum is that they only really come out at night, while you’re sleeping as they’re averse to light. Fortunately you don’t suffer any harmful effects as they’re fairly tidy tenants of your face real estate, unless you have a hypersensitive immune system. Sleep well.
