This tick is very similar to demodex, which causes facial skin disease and blephoritis. I look at them in an ordinary microscope at a magnification of 20 x 10 in a drop of water. An adult individual is the size of a hair bulb (eyelashes), the larva usually sits at the neck of the root. Maybe I'm not talking about that ?

If you mean the tick that is shown in the picture, then this is not Demodex

I agree with Bad Den that this tick is not at all similar to Demodex sp. The demodex must be very long and narrow, and the disease it causes is called Demodicosis (= Demodicosis).

Please tell me, my spouse has long had inflamed eyes and the doctor diagnosed blephoritis and prescribed drops from conjunctivitis. I really want to help him, but I'm not a medic. How is blephoritis treated? Who will respond-thank you all leroni@inbox.lv
