I believe many people don't know what mites are. What skin problems can mites cause? Mites do great harm to the human body, not only causing respiratory diseases, but also invading the skin and causing various skin diseases. Let me give you a detailed introduction to the symptoms of mites. If you have the following symptoms, you are probably attacked by mites.
1. Distribution and living habits of mites?
Dark corners of the living room, carpets, mattresses, pillows, sofas, air conditioners, summer mats, etc. Living habits are often parasitic on the deep stratum corneum with soft and thin skin (such as nose, forehead and face), feeding on horny tissue and lymph, and mating female mites dig tunnels under the skin surface 10~ 15mm to lay eggs and reproduce. Female mites spread fastest in 15~3 1℃, and spread effectively in 1~6.95 days, which was particularly harmful to hosts and health.
Second, the harm caused by mites

2. Pulmonary acariasis: After mites are inhaled through the respiratory tract, they cause respiratory allergic symptoms, such as irritating cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, frequent sneezing, stuffy nose and runny nose. Inhaled mites accumulate in lung tissue, causing pulmonary acariasis, which is characterized by repeated cough and expectoration.
3. Intestinal acariasis: After eating mites through the digestive tract, mites parasitize in the digestive tract, causing intestinal acariasis, which is manifested as abdominal pain, diarrhea and other clinical symptoms.
4. Scabies: Skin infection with scabies can cause scabies, which is characterized by red papules or round blisters the size of needle tips at the lesions, accompanied by severe itching.

If you wash your hair every day, but you still feel that your hair is always oily and dandruff, it may be infected by mites, because mites will absorb nutrients from skin cells, destroy cells and cause itching, which will seriously lead to skin cell aging and accelerate damage. The breeding of mites will lead to telangiectasia, accompanied by papules, pustules and itching.
2, the face is shiny and bacteria breed.
Mites are a very important cause of facial shine, because mites can destroy hair follicles and change the internal environment of our sebaceous glands, leading to excessive oil secretion, blocked hair follicles and easy to breed bacteria.
3. The pores become bigger and the skin is rough.
Mites can cause excessive sebum secretion and hair follicle expansion, so large pores are inevitable. Rosacea is a very common phenomenon, and the main cause of rosacea is mites.

Fourth, how to prevent mites in daily life

Except that they can't go to heaven, mites are everywhere, and they especially like to settle down on cotton and linen fabrics. Therefore, we must develop good personal hygiene habits, wash and dust clothes frequently, and do not use towels and washbasins.
Step 3 store less food
Mites also prefer food: biscuits, milk powder and other foods are places where acaroid mites breed arrogantly; Sugar, sliced sugar, maltose, syrup and other foods with high sugar content are sweet mites' favorite. If you accidentally let them enter the body, it will become a hidden danger for people to get sick.
4. Stay away from pets and flower fertilizers
Pets sometimes become the living environment for mites. If you have pets at home, don't get too close. Remember to bathe and disinfect your pet frequently, and wash your hands in time after contact. It is best not to use flower fertilizer in flower cultivation, because there are many mites and fungi in fertilizer.
