Mites on dogs are infective to humans

Mites on dogs can be infective to humans, but the probability is low. Mites are zoonotic parasites, including mites that may be found on human beds and skin, but in insufficient numbers to cause disease. If a dog is infected with mites and has symptoms such as red spots, itching, pus, or even bleeding, and the owner does not pay attention to help with treatment and control, and the human body's own resistance is relatively low, it is easier to infect the dog.

Symptoms of human infection with mites

1. Skin flakes and itching. Mites suck nutrients from skin cells and stimulate the sensory nerves of the skin, causing itching. At the same time, skin cells age, damage is accelerated, and dandruff increases.
2. The face is shiny and bacteria breeds. Mites destroy the environment inside hair follicles and sebaceous glands, causing blockage of hair follicles and increased sebum secretion.
3. The pores become enlarged and the skin becomes rough. Full hair follicles cause hair follicles to expand, stimulate keratin hyperplasia, and make pores larger.
4. When a large number of hair follicles accumulate in a pore, blackheads and acne will form.
5. Dark yellow skin and wrinkles. Mites absorb nutrients from the skin and cause skin deterioration.
6. Rosacea.

Methods to prevent mites on dogs from infecting humans

1. Pay attention to the daily cleaning and hygiene of dogs. Frequent bathing and grooming will help your dog remove shed hair as well as insect eggs, dust mites, etc. hidden in the hair.
2. Keep the kennel dry and clean. A humid environment will provide good living conditions for mites and other parasites.
3. Dog utensils, tableware and living environment should be cleaned, disinfected and exposed to the sun frequently.
4. Do not let the dog play on the bed while it is suffering from mite disease, and pay attention to the disinfection of sofas and furniture. Disinfect the dog in time after each time the dog is given medicine.
