Hair follicle mite research. Research subjects with absorbent skin patches being used in research into hair follicle mites. The patches are examined (one under magnifying glass at lower centre) for sebum and mite content. The parasitic/commensal mite Demodex folliculorum has an elongated body. Its preferred habitat is human eyelashes and eyebrows. It feeds mainly on sebum and dead skin cells. When large numbers of D. folliculorum are found on humans, the infestation is known as demodicosis. | |
