Demodex Mites Life Cycle

Demodex mites are 8-legged mites that can cause many skin, scalp, and hair issues to people who have a high population density of these parasites. In this post, we mostly want to focus on Demodex eggs, where they live, what they look like, and how to eliminate them. 😉

Demodex mites lifecycle;
The lifecycle of these mites has five stages. 👇

• Demodex mites mate on the scalp of infected people.
• They go under the scalp (follicles)
• After passing 12 hours, the female Demodex releases her eggs. Each time the female Demodex could release 50 to 60 eggs in follicles and fatty glands.
• It takes two and a half days for them to hatch out of skin and hair follicles and six days for a baby Demodex mite to reach adulthood. 😮😥
