Looking at a dust mite with Dino-Lite at 200x magnification

[thelivingoddity]

I'm actually NOT disturbed by these little guys. I mean, I don't see them or feel them crawling on me so they have no power to creep me out like a decent sized spider or a house centipede does.

The mites that live in our eyelashes are a little harder to take :/

1 person put a microscope up their ass and found a dust mite.

I've purchased dino lite AM411T, have taken many samples from house, mattress, carpet etc. Can not find one dust mite at 200x Am I doing something wrong???

@MrDanielakadee Maybe you simply have an awesomely clean home?

[parsleysprigs]

@MrDanielakadee Do you replace the bags in your vacuum everytime. Having dust mite infestations is usually caused by people who don't change they're vacuum bags therefore it loses suction and stops picking up everything and on top of that starts spitting dust out through the pores of the bag. But your mattress if it's at least a couple years old should have some but you would have to carry them in from somewhere so there in might lie the problem, maybe you need to get out more.

We need a virus that will kill all the dust mites on the earth

[concealedkiller]

They help us by eating our dead skin and they are harmless.

[KingNothing300]

They aren't harmless to me. I am allergic to their droppings. :(

[The0Burger0King]

Just take ur damn allergy pills :D

[Salemp00pie]
