Eyelash Creatures? Really?

You would not believe what we came across on Digg.com. We found a listing there called “Do You Know What Lives in Your Eyelashes? It pointed to a school research paper that showed images and described a tiny mite called the Demodicid. The tiny creature is less than 0.4 mm long that lives in your pores and hair follicles, usually on the nose, forehead, cheek, and chin, and often in the roots of your eyelashes.

The mites live head-down in a follicle, feeding on secretions and dead skin debris. The mites have tiny claws and needlelike mouthparts for eating skin cells. Crazy Huh? We definitely thought so. You can read the full research paper at the Eyelash Creatures page.

At least we know they don’t desire to feast or live on our eyelash extensions!!! Because those are not actually hair follicles. Thank goodness.
