According to a a piece updated on June 1st, on the Vox Media website, almost all of us host millions of mites that live on our bodies and crawl along our faces to look for food and places to live. We may not like it, but it has been this way for a long, long time and scientists really don’t know if this is a good or bad thing.
According to the article, Holly Menninger is working on a study to find out more about these mites and she is quoted saying: “‘We joke that the mites come out to party, because they have sex on your face at night.'”
