What are the health consequences, when mites that live on everyone enter your body?
I was distraught to learn today that "mites are living on everyone": Demodex folliculorum, Demodex brevis. What happens if they enter your body, or you ingest them unwittingly?

Herbert P. Goodheart, MD 1971 (Hahnemann Medical College). Acne For Dummies (2006). p. 217.

Mites: A mite called Demodex folliculorum, which lives in hair
follicles, is thought by some scientists to be the cause of
rosacea. The belief is that the mites clog oil glands, which
leads to the inflammation seen in rosacea. These mites reside
in almost everyone’s skin and, like P. acnes, may just be innocent bystanders.
