A few words about demodex
Demodex - mite is a parasite, who lives under the human skin. This subcutaneous hair mite is not able to live and develop independently, but on the human skin, he feels great. Particular mite activity manifests at an air temperature 30-40 degrees, so in the summer it is amplified as the spread, and total activity. The cosmetic creams Demodex mite can live for a long time, but the presence in the composition of tar, chloroform or carbolic acid, it dies instantly. When immersed in a composition with 10% salicylic acid mite Demodex die through minute.
Do not try to see it yourself, even if through a magnifying glass. Mite Demodex on average achieves a half-millimeter in length, therefore, it is extremely difficult to discern. Moreover, live mites under the skin, and therefore, undertaking a scrutiny of the face, hoping to see unreasonable disease pathogens. It is deep in the epidermis layer occurs all life tick.

Man gets tired quickly, can not continuously look at a single point. In the most extreme cases, the business can reach blefarokonyuktivita or demodectic blepharitis.
The causes of the disease
Why symptoms in some people, isolated and almost imperceptible, while others - pronounced? All the matter in the body of the man himself. So, there are many factors, which may affect the progression of the disease:
