Demodex mites: Demodex is a genus of tiny parasitic mites that live in or near hair follicles of mammals. Two living on humans have been identified; demodex folliculorum and demodex brevis, often called eyelash mites. Infestation with demodex is common, usually doesn't cause any symptoms, although occasionally secondary infection can occur. Suggest ignore them.
