Demodex folliculorum is a microscopic mite that can only survive on the skin of humans.[2][3] Most people have D.folliculorum on their skin. Usually, the mites do not cause any harm, so are considered an example of commensalism rather than parasitism;[4] but they can cause disease, known as demodicosis.[5]
