  "infection often result when large numbers of these mites congregate in a single follicle. "
  
  "The mites live head-down in a follicle, feeding on secretions and dead skin debris."
  
  "An individual female may lay up to 25 eggs in a single follicle, and as the mites grow, they become tightly packed. When mature, the mites leave the follicle, mate, and find a new follicle in which to lay their eggs. The whole cycle takes between 14 to 18 days."
  
  "The mite's digestive system results in so little waste that the mite doesn't even have an excretory opening. So although there may be mites in your eyelashes, there isn't any mite poop! Thank goodness! "
