How many known species of mites regularly live on the human body?
I've always heard that most people have eyebrow mites. This source mentions 2 species of face mites, Demodex folliculorum and D. brevis, that also regularly live on humans, but I'm wondering if there are in fact other species of mites that also call human bodies home. If so, how many? And where do they live?
Note: I'm not talking about disruptive mites such as scabies, but mites that go less detected.
