Itch mites (specifically Scabies mite)

The epidermis of human or animal skin, often specifically in webbing between fingers, wrists, and elbows.

Liquid substances originating from the host's body and skin cells.

The mites burrow into the upper layer of the skin to live and deposit eggs. Female mites tunnel through the skin, leaving waste and eggs behind, which causes an allergic reaction.

Risk: Causes Scabies, a highly contagious skin infestation characterized by intense itching and a pimple-like rash. It can lead to secondary skin infections like impetigo. There are no known benefits to the host or ecosystem.
