SEM of human itch mite
Itch mite. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of an itch mite, Sarcoptes sp. , on the surf- ace of a piece of skin. This parasite attacks hum- an skin, causing scabies. Scabies is typified by severe itching (especially at night), red papules and often secondary infection. The female mite tunnels in the skin to lay her eggs and the newly- hatched mites are passed easily from person to person by physical contact. The itching is caused by an allergic reaction to the mite's saliva or faeces. Commonly infected areas are the groin, penis, nipples and the skin between the fingers. Treatment is with hexachlorophane or benzyl benzo- ate creams. Magnification: x110 at 6x6cm size.
