eyelash miteWe search the universe for mystery and mysterious alien life and yet some are with most of us always. One example is the demodex folliculorum.

In the small picture the tails of these alien like creatures can be seen in a green colour protruding from the red stems. They can also be seen in the larger photo above.

Every one in three of us are playing host to these demodex folliculorum - in our eyelashes. These mites (photo below) don't mean us any harm and help to keep our lashes clean.
