	Demodex Solutions reveals all about human demodex mites
		According to an investigation of the infection of demodex mites in the human body made by scholars both at home and abroad, the total infection rate makes up 60%, and from those 60%, some 10% are heavily infested with demodex mites, the same amount as those are suffering from acne.
		The 790 patients infected with Demodex were examined by the provocative method of detection of the Demodex colonies (R.D.Zhaxylykova, M.K.Kenenbayeva, 1990) Amongst the papules detected in all the patients examined, 873 colonies of the mites were subjected to enucleation and to subsequent micro scoping.
		Infestation of the volunteer was executed through the pre-boiled wisp of bast, on which the Demodex mites were taken from the "butterfly" region from the face a patient having laboratorially confirmed demodicosis on the face.

	[No title]
		Demodex mites take advantage of an immature or lowered immune system which is why the very young get it, and sometimes the very old or ill. A dog's immune system is not fully mature until at least one year, sometimes longer.
		While demodex was once a rare state of dis-ease, generations of being fed kibble and overzealous vaccination programs wear down the immune system of each successive generation until today you hear about demodectic puppies all the time.
		Okay, so now that we have established that demodex could not possibly be genetic, let me say that it is "congenital" in that a sub-standard immune system is passed on from the mother to the pups, and the mites can migrate to the pups from the mom shortly after birth.
