Can Demodex Mites Live in Bedding?

Demodex mites are ectoparasites of mammals, including humans.
.
_ The mites can only survive on the skin, and if they are removed, they will die soon.
.
_ However, as it takes several hours for the isolated Demodex mites to die, they will survive to start a new life if they can move to a new host during this time.
.
_ For this reason, the use of beddings, combs, pillowcases, and other items that come in contact with the skin and hair of others can cause Demodicosis.
.
_ Even if you are on Demodex treatment, it is better to regularly wash your bedding and pillowcases and dry them under the sun.
.
_ That’s because the mites on them may be re-transmitted to your skin and slow down the treatment process.
.
_ You should also wash your comb and other personal items regularly or disinfect them with PDT spray for the same reason.
