There are bugs that live on us. One type of bug is dust mites. They live on your body and on your pillow. You can’t see these tiny creatures. They feed on dead skin and sweat. Their droppings cause allergies.
Another type of bug is bacteria. They cover your body inside and outside. You can’t see them. They help you digest food. They can spread germs and can make you sick.
The next type of bug is lice. They hunker down and guzzle blood from the scalp. They lay eggs in your hair. Lice spreads from head to head. There are special shampoos that can get rid of them.
The final type of bug is eyelash mites. They have mites in your eyelashes. They cling to eyelashes with eight tiny legs. They live on sebum, a natural oil in our skin and hair.
