Did you know that demodex, a little-known parasite,
has been widely living parasitically in the skin of humans and animals
since the existence of life? It could be said that, where there
are humans and animals there is demodex. It lives in human and animal
hair follicles and sebaceous glands.
It can pass through hair follicle pores freely, feeding on endoplasm.
It can pass through hair follicle pores freely, feeding on endoplasm
in the hair follicles and sebaceous glands. It reproduces very fast,
with one generation in about 14 days. Its scientific
genus is Demodex. It travels through the hair follicles and was
first discovered in the hair follicles. Thus it is also known as
hair follicle mite.
DEMODEX
The revolutionary find in dermatology
97.68% Yes! A starting 97.68% of human adults
unknowningly have on them very parasitic natured mite known as 'Demodex'
(a hair-follicle mite). This information might surprise you, but
the figures are derived from Dr. Qu Kui Zun's worldwide clinical
observations and epidemiological studies over a 48 years period,
between 1955 till today. His three decade long study involved a
total number of 905,801 participants, of various races, ages and
occupations. |

How many species of DEMODEX are there?
Basically two, Demomex Folliculorum - the much longer mite that survives
in the hair follicles and Demodex Brevis - the mite that lives in
the sebaceous glands. What damage
can DEMODEX do?
Demodex Folliculorum pokes into hair follicles, sucks out the nutrients
and those at the root of the hair. Consequently, the hair follicles
become enlarged and infected. The final result is hair loss and
inflammation of the surrounding tissue. Demodex Brevis feeds on
the nutrients in the sebaceous glands.
As a result, the sebaceous glands become infected and inflamed i.e.
poliferated.
But, when both the Demodex are present, the damage can be substantial.
Demodex breeds and multiples fast (2 weeks) and as a result of which
causes the pores to enlarge leaving the skin rough and even inflamed.
Acne Rosacea is therefore caused by increasing Demodex activity.
Do I have DEMODEX?
If your skin is rough and has a tendency to flush around your facial
region or there is considerable hair loss, then there is a strong
possibility that there is DEMODEX activity.
How do I have DEMODEX?
Dr. Qu Kui Zun invented the 'Sebum Quantifying Instrument' by which
the squeezed sebum (from skin) was put under the microscope to examine
the density as well as the quantitative diagnostic criteria. |

Human demodex is distributed all over the world,
commonly living in the hair follicles and sebaceous glands of human
beings. From the evolutionary viewpoint, its ecological relationship
with man can be traced back to primitive times. It may have already
co-existed with man and animals since early times and has since
adapted to man's later development and survived until today.
Demodex has its unique adaption in its evolution.
This adaptation requires it be guaranteed a niche in the host's
body it infests. Therefore, a fixed infesting position (specific
location) and a constant food source as well as a corresponding
unique transmitting mode (transmission mechanism) are needed.
In its long evolutionary adaptation, the
human demodex, which infests the long cavity hair follicles and
short cavity sebaceous glands of humans, has formed two species
with differing characteristics, one with an elongated body and the
other with a short one. These unique habitats - hair follicles and
sebaceous glands - are their best surviving niches. They are bisexual
copulating the follicle openings and reproducing in their infesting
territories. They transmit through close contact of the host and
survive generation after generation. |

Human Demodex has no intermediate host.
It passes its whole life in the hair follicles
and sebaceous glands of man.
It is bisexual and reproduces through intercourse
at the openings of hair follicles, after which it goes back to surrounding
hair follicles and sebaceous glands to lay eggs and reproduce.

A sample survey conducted of 902,505 people has
shown the following results: demodex has been detected on the faces
of a staggering 97.68% adult males and females.
There are no national, racial, regional,
climatic, occupational and sexual differences in demodex infestation
in humans. Since the infestation rate of demodex (qualitative determination
) cannot be used to analyze it, the infectiosity of demodex (quantitative
determination) should be used to explain it.
