Can Demodex Mites Live in Bedding?🤔

-Demodex mites are #ectoparasites of mammals, including humans.

-The #Demodex #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.
