- Tiny face mites called Demodex folliculorum are living on your skin right now. These common mites are found on the skin of most adults and are typically harmless. They live in the hair follicles and feed on the oil produced by the follicles. At night, they come out to mate and lay eggs in the hair follicle. In this video, we'll be exploring the fascinating world of Demodex face mites and learning more about their biology and behavior. Whether you're a student of biology or simply have a curiosity about the hidden creatures living on your skin, this video is sure to educate and intrigue. Don't miss out on this opportunity to learn more about Demodex face mites.
Part 2/2: • Demodex FACE MITE unde...
Tips for extracting the face mites for microscopic observation: Put sticky tape over your forehead, node, cheeks and leave it there for about 30 minutes. Keep the face dark to imitate night. Put the tape with the sticky surface on top on a microscope slide and observe. They can best be seen using a 40x objective. The superglue method also works, but has several disadvantages. The glue might harm the mite and it can irritate the skin and eyes. You have to be patient finding the face mites. Slowly and carefully scan the whole slide with the 10x objective. The face mites can be seen well at this magnification.

I found one of these things when I was 17 years old. I was examining a black head that I extracted from my nose and this thing was on the slide. remember six legs but everything else was the same. I drew a picture for every scientific person that I had a class with and met but no one could tell me what it was. I am now 77 years old and finally I know so Thank you for that.
Wow 👍👏🥳 how cool to finally get an answer 😊
@@skittles2055 the question should be why could no one answer that question until now?

I found one in my back yard but it was dead and there is horses in the back yard
Ripping out your eyebrows with super glue is hard core. Respect.
😂😂😂👍
Yeah..but hairstyling your hair with the Gorilla glue takes real talent.
Naming your channel microbehunter (knowing that people in the UK will hear it as “Micro Punter” 😂) is a boss move. “Punter” in the UK is like saying “a prostitutes John” in the USA.
+Alexander Graf...I love watching his videos, but I'll have to admit, some of his videos are gross, and very difficult to watch, especially on a full stomach!
SCIENCE
I'm horrified and fascinated. But more horrified. My aunt had acne all of her life, and a doctor finally diagnosed her with mites - I believe she was prescribed the antiparasitic Ivermectin and her acne cleared up!
Wow, yucky but fascinating diagnosis & solution.
So you are really never alone. Good to know. Next time I talk to myself I’m actually addressing the little demodex mites 😄 I only hope they don’t answer me back. That would be awkward.
😄
LOL Great comment and sense of humor! xD
BEST COMMENT !!
"Cute" and "live under my skin" should never be used in the same sentence!
Don't forget "coming out to mate at night".
@@JANEEDISTURBED I'm trying so hard to forget that! Thanks for the reminder :-)
They eat fat.
@@JANEEDISTURBED .They have no anuses and eat the oil" eww
🤣
My anxiety while watching this was very high, but I couldn’t stop! now I’m itchy and want to rip off my face.
🤣🤣😂
Same! 😄
😂😂😂😂
Same
Hope is not that late. Please don't rip off your face. You are very pretty 🙂
Use the scent of lavender oil. That deters mites from mating and thus reduces their numbers. This works for headlice and bed bugs. Dustmites too.
Love lavender use it everywhere
Dust mites flare up my eczema, hate those things
@@dabloseth5253 why not. ppl don't care
@@vanessasworder thus won't break your face out..I love lavender too
I'm buying some lavender oil from now on. And a telescope!!
We are good human-being, We provide them accommodation and food.
Really there is none good but GOD.
I'd start charging rent lol!
yup 😅😅😆😅😆😅
It's a free human, not a rent free human
Wow!!! We are just a sack of bugs & bacteria. What a way to humble yourself. Am going to shower now.
just use more sanitizer.. that should kill everything off
@@galaxytraveler5779 not really. Actually you will kill more good than bad and get an imbalance.
But we need to be scared of SEE VEE 19 🤦🏻♂️
🤣😂🤣😂
We are a virus living with viruses!!
I may lose some sleep after hearing that there are "little animals" living in my face "that like to come out in the dark." Thanks for taking one for the team.
🤑🤢🤡
🤣😂🤣😂
Well the good news is, that they don't poop on your face, or in your skin.
Yeah, where do they go in the daytime? Frightening thought they come out at night and crawl all over your face!!!
I don’t think I’ll worry about swallowing spiders during the night , so much now!☹️🤢🤮😎
This made me feel like buying a microscope right now... Thanks for sharing.
If you have a low budget then you can buy a foldscope
I have cancer and the chemo I'm on now is controlling it. But soon after I begin taking the chemo my face itched, my forehead broke out then my eyes started itching and watering. I had my eyes checked and the Dr said I had lots of eyelash mites. Wipes with tea tree oil worked to get rid of them
You litterally ripped your eye brows for us what a madlad
So when I turn off my lights and get ready for bed, you're saying these creatures come out to mate on my face? I'm not sure how I feel about that one, sir.
I am having no doubts about how I'm feeling about it , 🤢
@@meliplay Welp, time to sleep with all of the lights on. If that fails, you'll have to break out the tape and glue to protect yourself.
LMAO......
@@voxvolhynia5400 would that be 1st degree murder? Or cleansing?
@@alexandriamaguire8224 It's cleansing, your honor, I plead innocent.
None of the high end beauty brands can ever dare to claim to clear skin of this
that's because sthey don't cure you of this. you need ivermectin cream from your dermatologist if you have 'too many'. and tea tree oil washes (20 percent strength!!! that is strong) daily keeps them at bay. they are everywhere but some of us need help to keep them at low concentrations.
Actually, it's the reverse. Demodex mites can feed on mascara and eyeliner. So every time you apply that makeup, you're feeding the mites and they will multiply even faster.
@@drblaneyphysics how can you tell if you have to many?
@@samsalamander8147 you get a rash
@@stevenlitvintchouk3131 mascara , eyeliner and other makeup is usually applying foreign bacteria to the skin so idk who wins in those battles 🤣
“Each man is a world unto himself” Fascinating thanks
Child: Do monsters live under my bed ?
Parent: they live under your skin !?
😣
HAHAHAHAHA
Bastards are in the closet!
Monster outside of my reach, or Demons inside of my Faces? I'd prefer the Monster tbh.
😂😂😂
Usually I like to be well informed, but this is something I wish I never saw. I'm officially grossed out, I don't even want to know what else is on my body that I can't see 🤢
I do!
@@alexandriamaguire8224 you mean hers body?
We also have parasites living in our guts.
My thoughts exactly Kym ! 😖
At least you can see how some of our fears and disgusts are unjustified. Mites live on our faces and there is no problem with that!
We should learn to accept the world as it is. Holding onto an ideal but false world in our minds is not beneficial :)
A method that I prefer, if you have oily skin like me. Drag the back edge of a fingernail firmly along your face skin; around the nose works well. Then wipe the sample from the nail onto a slide. This way, the creatures are not "stuck" with glue or tape. It's very interesting to watch them journey around the slide. Unfortunately, observing them does lead to their death so I have only done it a few times.
Glad you're still with us!
How is that unfortunate?
Isto é novo para mim.
Obrigada pela apresentação 😁
O corpo humano é extraordinário 😅
Please, could you do the same research on a used surgical mask?
Thanks😊
Good idea 👍
He has already done one 😉
😭😭😭 I think I remember we have a more micro organisms than cells but i just want to cry knowing this is probably on my face!
Don't worry, it's funny 😉😘
@@isabellefrey6221 イサ벨 프레い
Imagine those little buggers crawling on your face without you knowing or noticing them. Amazing.
This was a cool experiment! I tried the sticky tape and I found one. Remember, do not scratch your skin when sleeping or you're bothering these guys 😄
I mean why should I be considerate and respectful to them when they don't respect me? They're living on me without asking for my permission, they don't pay rent, they don't even keep me company or introduce themselves and they don't even protect my skin from other stuff like rashes and mosquitos or blackheads. Those disrespectful little freeloader rascals ... .
Well I guess we are all never really alone...
😂😂😂
😆😆
So that's why I get that spine cringing itch in my eyebrow from time to time
And, inside your nostrils too.
Yea, be itching in one spot all the time
🥴😫😫😫
You know the cure. Super glue.
thank you, it is impressive to see the little mites so large in the background.
Hello Microbehunter... Impressive discovery. I had read that these mites were in 1/10 healthy people. It's seems is more frequent. Thanks for sharing!!!
This video ruined every future first date for me. Now I'm gonna look at the girl, imagining these creatures crawling around on her face.
Thanks
If i were you I would ask the date to scrub her face with alcohol before going out. 😃
😂😂
They are on your face too
@@ceebee4578 OMG!!! AAAAAAGGGHHH!!!! (runs and jumps through a 14th story window)
@@ceebee4578 lol true.
Omg now I can’t stop itching!!!! WTH did this pop up on my home page 😭😭😭😭
It's funny! Don't be scared 😉
😀😃😄
First watch captured my attention and forced myself to subscribe this channel.. it's really really appreciated...
this feels great knowing that we are not alone in our body 🙂
do you considers these🦂 friends ??
What a wonderful thing to know that I have all these creepy crawlies feasting on me and I am home to them. Yuck...I cannot unsee it now.
0
fuck man now i cant unsee it too
Why? Why did I even watch this? I’m so freaked out now👀🤡
Thanks for the itch!! 😂😂
Ok, I'm going to get the tape right now and check these worms out! LOL really! Thanks for letting us know we got bugs on our faces.
The close captions are amusing. I will forever think of you as “micropuncher”.
I liked "demo nats".
Great! Now I want to scrub my frickin face off with Borax.
Bicarbonate the soda, because your face skin is fragile, mild soap.
Wait did he just say ,"Unfortunately, I found only one"...?
While I'm sitting here saying I want zero mite on me
You are a complete universe within yourself
Apparently almost every adult has them, there goes my anxiety rising again!
Though it's nothing, still washed my face 3times after this video.
Great! Thanks for showing wonderful micro world!
I'm so happy about fact that if I'm not doing something special just simply live, even on that case I can be useful for others.
I think it's beautiful, the interconnectedness of life and how each living thing from the microbes to the planet itself are hosts to others.
yes the true meaning of connection
Howarth, I will generously give you my share of the bugs. I've got plenty since see vee 19. So itchy that I fainted last winter in Target. Beautiful it wasn't. Welp, time for the second medicated shower of the day.
That inter connectivity of Life is amazing. How creatures evolve when their environment changes is magical. Look at mites that live on our eyelashes. Since the invention of mascara, those mites can change to only eat mascara. Newer larvae growing with a changed intestinal system designed for mascara. Amazing!
You think it's beautiful, while I think it's disgusting.
@@mokongthe3856 You are very strange then. Have you no thoughts about how amazing Life is?
This might just be your best upload yet. Interesting stuff!
They come out at night to mate... This is a literal nightmare.
Lol after watching this a few times I got that song stuck in my head now, you know, the one that says “your body is a wonderland..” 🎶 😝
This man ripped off his eyebrow with superglue? Subscribed.
😂😂😂
Exactly
That’s what I did!
Straight up
Him ripping out his eyebrow gained him 3 things
1.my like
2.my sub
3.my respect
Thank you for revealing the universe of our bodies, and life among us all.
Oh darling…and so cute!
Nothing like knowing our faces are also a breeding ground, or more like a brothel for these spider related "mites". Itch much? Is this maybe another reason we toss and turn while sleeping? And could they be elsewhere, other than the face?
I can't stop feeling itchy, like when someone talks about lice!
The disgusting, microscopic creatures breeding on our face do not constitute a brothel, as no money changes appendages during the sex act, although it would be hard to tell. Maybe just small change.
I guess i‘ll never feel lonely again
I never thought about tape to do a facial , good idea
Wow you did it I heard about then that you are never Alone. They always with you 🇬🇧🇬🇧💝💝
I'm hopping in the shower now thank you very much
Oh my! Ok....um.....now I'm itchy....i know all in my head....interesting what lives under your skin....i think
Thank you for sacrificing your eyebrows to the Science gods for us to witness these critters!
I learned a lot from your video my friend. Thanks a lot!
Thanks man. You really are all in. I hope I can learn so much of the stuff you teach...

This channel is amazing.
I love looking at bacterium.
Its like a video game.
Do you think we can create a handheld electronic device like tamagotchi but with real bacterium living inside.
Like game we can train and feed and care for a little glass screen of bacterium and view your pets to see them.
Somehow found this video.... BTW, use any soap with Tea Tree oil in it regularly if you want to minimize the infestation. Especially the eyelid area and eyebrows. I use the hippy-dippy Dr. Bronners Peppermint-Hemp castile soap as it has a fair amount of tea tree oil in it, and a bottle lasts a year when diluted for body wash, facial scrub, ear cleaner and the sink soap foamer. It is a very good degreaser and my glasses are squeaky clean.
Oops, you can tell I like it. Great channel, I'm subbing now.
Bigger scalebars, please! Love the video, enthusiasm, and curiosity. Inspiring stuff.
Your passion is kind of unique thing I have never seen before.
Microbe hunting, cool cool!!! 🤠
Ants of canada and this guy. And project farm. Best TH-cam has to offer.
Oh and Mr Beast
Thanks microbhunter, thanks for the method
I never think before that there are mites living under our skin.
There can be other areas of the body where it doesn't get much light. Not using superglue in those areas is recommended. You might even find other critters from those samples.
lol, other critters.... you can just say it. crabs.
Yeah crabs
I just bought the microscope, and it will be delivered today.
I will try it :)
Commendable commitment, donating so much of your eyebrow to science! Well done!
I would recommend against using superglue on your slides in future, though, and just stick (*ha!*) to the tape method. Cyanoacrylate offgasses even after it's 'cured' and fogs optical components. In my industry, you have to have a pretty strong justification to use it anywhere on a product for fear of clouding a sensor housing.
Things I did not know. Thank you.
That is quite unsettling! :)
Superr wow to that dancing bug.... My face mate😍🤗
This is my first time on here. 1 I am no scientist but I would have used sticky tape first. Now i am going to subscribe you have interested me. Hopefully show this to my grandson. Once again thank you.
Must ring my shrink 😂
Showing this to an ocd person would be cruel 😳
I am the person
So if someone licks your face thinking it's cute or a funny joke....now you can say....wow, I now know you really care about me since you helped getting rid of my face mites!
As I'm watching this, the mites on my face... Hey ur watching me on TH-cam 👀😂😂
My face was itching during the whole video 😂
The heebie jeebies
😇😇
My entire body 😭
Why is this guy not famous!!!!!!
OMG, the first 15sec. love it.
They look like spider beavers. Super cool!
😳Watching this Makes my face itch. 🤯
Taking microbiology class right now and going to show this to my class lol 😂
This _REALLY, REALLY_ freaks me out seeing what they look like but it is interesting.
I'm never going to sleep again 😭 I don't want bugs waiting for the lights to go out so they can get it on
If these little monsters live in clean and healthy skin, I don't want to imagine what they will find in other skin types.😲
Aaah MAN! NOW I HAVE TO BUY ME A TELESCOPE! D A R N ! 🙉
No, you don’t, since you need a Microscope
"The Face Mites of My Skin." Good title. You should turn it into a song and put it to the tune of "The Windmills of Your Mind."
totally going to try the sticky tape method in my zoology class. thanks!
Finding one requires patience, though. Keep the tape dark, so that they come out (maybe try overnight). Younger people have fewer of them. Also watch this video here from another TH-camr: th-cam.com/video/pHpZfaApSbg/w-d-xo.html
Taught about these in school , but wow to actually see them was cool !
I must've skipped that dae
"it doesn't have an anus"
As a biologist: that cool.
As a backpacker: they're practicing "leave no trace" in our faces
😆
No faeces on our faces
But they die on our faces too, so...
Guess what I'm doing with the kids tomorrow?! A simple fun way to get them interested and more involved. Thanks!
You need patience and older people have more of them. Do not give up too quickly. They come out in darkness.
‘You are not alone ...mites are here with yoooou’
So happy you've taught the method ! I wanted to do it a long time ago, and now I'm going to do it !!
I must say, I had no success so far, maybe I did it too early in the evening (22:00-22:30) or the dim book lamp made it difficult for them to get out, it might also have been too hot weather, or maybe I don't have them at all (I find it difficult to believe), couldn't find any yet, I will repeat this experiment, it just might be that sweat also affects the process.
I recently found your channel🤗...and very very good content...and u deserves million views...but these are not getting much views while a random useless vlogs are having million views...🙄 The best thing in ur channel is... you simply just don't show things under microscope but explains everything related to that.....☺️
i've always wanted to be an island, now i know what my natives look like
My new favorite person!!
Your amazing I'm so happy to find you 💛 love from Canada 🇨🇦❤
I didn’t need to know this. 😱
SHIT no!!!!!😱😱😱🙈
Intelligent entertainment! Great job!
This gives a whole new meaning to getting a facial...
