The Disturbing Truth About Face Mites and Your Sleep

Demodex mites, which are less than one millimeter in length and have eight little legs, live on most people's faces and mate in the nighttime. During the day, they hang out inside our pores, and at night, look for other mites on our face to mate with. Although they may sound alarming, the mites are harmless and are found on pretty much everyone. In the future, these Demodex mites could potentially be "symbionts" with us, according to a 2022 study from the journal "Molecular Biology and Evolution."
