- octagonal 12y agoI really hope this article doesn't make anyone actually try to get rid of these arachnids although I'm sure "hygiene" companies will be all over this in a few years. > Spiders are living on your FACE! Please buy our stuff.
- jjoonathan 12y agoYup, and then once they are dead something 100x worse fills the niche and people start getting mange or something...
- rdtsc 12y agoAlready happening in Easter Europe and China. Go to the doctor and they show you under the microscope -- look you got spiders on your face. Buy this cream we made in the basement over at my cousins' it will help you.
- ivanca 12y agoNope. Mittens are animals not bacteria and they are very tought, here are some still alive after 30 minutes in alcohol. http://youtu.be/EUa6jZeUUOY http://youtu.be/EUa6jZeUUOY
- troels 12y agoMites. Not mittens.

- Houshalter 12y agoThat's interesting. I know that eyelash mites and insects are quickly killed by alcohol though. Perhaps they used a different type or concentration? I know it can't be pure alcohol won't work for example, it needs some water to absorb into the cell.
- ivanca 12y agoThe guy has more similar videos using bleach, ammonia and other substances and the mites survives them all.
- seszett 12y agoIt would work at most until the next time you come in contact with a human or another mammal, which is probably not very far away. I guess even just shaking hands would be enough, since people often touch their face with their hands. The individual mites communities on each mammal are probably not very isolated but come often in contact with mites from other animals.
