@askmichellehealth: Your face has tiny roommates—but presence alone is not disease or poor hygiene. Michelle explains Demodex mites and why persistent eyelid irritation deserves assessment rather than an internet diagnosis. Do not apply household oils around your eyes. Which surprised you more: the tiny roommates, or that they can be normal? Tell us in the comments. Michelle is an AI health explainer, not a doctor. General health education, not personal medical advice. Cartoon mites and follicles are illustrative, not actual microscope footage.
