Mites, belonging to the arachnid family, are tiny creatures that often go unnoticed due to their microscopic size. These minuscule parasites have a significant impact on various organisms, including humans, animals, and plants🪴. With their specialized mouthparts, mites feed on the skin cells of their hosts, causing irritation and sometimes allergic reactions in humans and animals. In agriculture, certain species of mites can be detrimental to plant health by feeding on plant tissues, leading to stunted growth and reduced crop yields. Despite their small size, mites play a crucial role in various ecosystems, contributing to nutrient recycling and decomposition processes. Understanding the behavior and ecology of mites is essential for effective pest management strategies and maintaining the health of both natural and agricultural systems.
Cats are susceptible to mites infestations, resulting in hair loss and excessive scratching to relieve the itch. Small orange dots spread across its skin or a black liquid in its ears likely indicates mites infestations.
It is essential that cat owners check the overall condition of their cat’s coat and skin daily, while staying alert to any unusual and excessive scratching behaviour.
