OH, GROSS - VIDEO OF MITES FEEDING ON HUMAN SKIN

 

Revealed in all their grisly glory: The 'alien' lifeforms in your living room and bedroom that feed on human skin

Animation was based on videos of real dust mites feeding on human skin

The uninvited guests measure only a quarter of a millimetre in length

There are an estimated two to three million mites in the average mattress

The alien-like beings look like something from another planet - and chances are they have already invaded your home.

 

An animation created by German-group Sciepro Science Productions shows house dust mites moving and feeding among human waste.

Mites thrive in human habitations, especially bedrooms and kitchens, with an estimated two to three million mites in the average mattress.

 

The video reveals how the creatures feed on flakes of human skin in places such as carpets, bedding and furniture.

The uninvited guests are barely visible to the unaided eye, with the average mite measuring only a quarter of a millimetre in length.

They thrive in warm environments and are a particular problem in winter when houses are sealed up to keep out the cold.
