Mhor Lab Panda’s Facebook page, a popular page in Thailand, warns about a tiny blood-sucking mite called ‘lone’ that causes severe itching, especially in private areas. The mite can spread through sexual contact or sharing personal items, and experts advise those affected to seek medical treatment immediately.

 

Today, Mhor lab Panda posted a warning on social media about the presence of ‘lone’ mites. These creatures cause itching around the genitals and other hairy parts of the body. The mites, which are approximately 1 to 2 millimetres in size, have three pairs of legs, and can be observed with the help of a mobile phone camera. They feed on human blood and their saliva can cause itching and irritation.

 

Lone mites live in body hair, usually around the genitals due to the suitable temperature. However, they can also be found in facial hair, eyelashes, and chest hair. These mites can be transmitted in two ways: Through sexual contact, or by sharing personal items such as towels, clothing, toilets, or bedding.
