A few days ago my son came home from school (9th Grade) and was telling me that he had just learned EVERYONE has tiny little bugs on their eyelashes and no matter what you cant get rid of them.
I thought this is gross and wanted to go wash my eyes but he just laughed and said it wouldnt help.
I asked about wearing mascara and he said they eat it.

Don't worry about Demodex folliculorum - most people have them and they don't cause any problems. They live in the follicles rather than on the eyelashes, hence the name.

I have heard of this and saw a programme on tv about them. They are too small for the eye to see, so how do you know you've got them. Pretty gross though.
