ABOUT PRODUCTS
Demodex mites are microscopic parasites that feed off the
oils, hormones, and fluids that are present around human hair follicles
Where can Demodex mites be found?
Mites can be found in the hair follicles and sebaceous
glands on humans. They become most active at night, in the dark.
What do Demodex mites look like?
They are invisible to the eye unless aided by a
microscope. The adult Demodex mite is around 0.3 mm in length. They have
semi-transparent elongated bodies with 8 short segmented legs. At night they
can walk on the skin at a speed of 8 to 16 cm an hour.
Are Demodex mites the same as head lice?
No, mites are different to head lice. Mites are parasites
that live inside hair follicles and feed off of the oils they produce. Lice are
larger, and can be seen by the naked eye. They live on top of the human scalp,
and feed exclusively on blood.
How to know if I have Demodex mites?
Mites are very common in humans of all ages. Those
affected usually have tell-tale symptoms such as: loss of hair and hair
thinning, aging skin, enlarged pores, facial redness and discoloration, acne
and itching.
Do mites eat coconut oil?
No, Coconut oil is one of the few oils mites do not
consume. Making it a rich, nourishing ingredient, only you should enjoy.
I lose hair in the shower when I brush, is
this normal?It can be normal if it’s just a limited number, however
hair is weaker when wet, so brushing wet hair can cause breakage and cause your
hair to weaken, which could contribute to hair loss.
Can dandruff be a sign of mites?
Demodex mites living in the hair follicles leave waste
and their decomposing bodies behind. This can cause a build-up of bacteria and
germs and then lead to dandruff. Mites will come out of the hair follicles only
to walk and mate on top of the scalp, this causes itching when their tiny claws
scuff the surface of the scalp, and excessive scratching can contribute to
dandruff as well.
Are mites causing my rosacea?
It’s possible. Mites can be linked to rosacea in some
people. People affected with mite-related rosacea will often have weakened
immune systems either from autoimmune deficiencies or something in their
lifestyle which could be causing the mites to overpopulate in the skin.
Yes it’s possible, as a mite infestation in the eyelash
follicles can lead to blepharitis. Blepharitis is a condition that causes
inflammation of the eyelids, eye discharge, a dry gritty sensation in the eyes
and general itching/discomfort. If you are experiencing more than two of these
symptoms it is very possible to have an eyelash mite infestation.
Yes, although children usually do not get Demodex mite
infestations, there have been cases recorded of children with mites and
infections caused by mites. In recorded cases of children with mites, they have
also had diseases or conditions affecting the immune system.
