Vampires That Live in the Human Body
These deadly blood sucking creatures like to dwell in human body.
Mites
Mites survive by eating human dandruff and scalp. They are mainly parasites that stay in the mattress, or any other places that are warm or dark for them to survive. While tidying up the bed sheet, the mites together with the dust are thrown away scattering around the floor, primarily in the bedroom. However, mites do not prefer to sit on carpet or floor that is not their ideal survival environment as it is too cold, too dry or too expose to the light, and sometimes may be cleaned away by the detergents. They may also wipe off by the mop, floor or even be removed away by the vacuum cleaner. Therefore, they select human’s body as their ideal habitats.

Round Worms
Round worms or Ascaris lumbriocoides are worms that parasite in the host’s intestine. Ascariasis is a common intestinal parasitic disease. It is caused by the infection of ascariasis patients with their feces contaminated with substantial amount of ascaris lumbricoides’ eggs, or may also transfer to human’s body when human consumes vegetable contaminated with their eggs from the infectious soil. Under the suitable temperature and humidity, these eggs can develop into mature eggs within two weeks. The mature eggs enter through human’s mouth and finally reach stomach where some of them may kill by the acid secretion in the stomach. However, a small number of them may escape from the stomach and dwell in the intestine to hatch their eggs into larvae. These larvae then penetrate through mucosa, the lymphatic, liver and finally reach the vena cava of the lungs. In the lungs, these larvae will shape into one millimeter long larvae and they will continue growing. These larvae then pass through alveolar capillary, bronchi, trachea before being swallowed by the stomach, and then return to the small intestine, where they mature to adult male and female worms.

Louse
Louse (plural: lice) is also known as fly baby or Phthiraptera. They are mostly wingless insects which normally feed on epidermal (skin) debris. They use their saliva to attach eggs (or called nits) to their host’s hair.

OMG! This is a very good article, Chan. I had to scroll really fast past the pictures though. I know they are there but, if I don’t have to look at them, maybe they will go away.
Great job as usual.

As much as I try to be logical, these kinds of readings always make me chilled.
