Which of the following do you need a microscope to see? A.) Dust mite B.) Deer Tick C.) Mosquito D.) Chiggers

A. Dust mite. The number of mites in a home has nothing to do with the cleanliness of the home or the presence of animals. It is more likely related to humidity and the amount of fabric in the susceptible areas of the home. The mite eats the skin that we shed daily. People shed about one gram of skin flakes per day. This food supply drops directly into the mite's home, the bed, the carpet or upholstered furniture. Each day's supply will feed several mites for a lifetime. The mite has a life cycle of about 2 to 3 1/2 months.
