Tickle mites are too small to be seen by the naked eye. But under a microscope they are quite strange. They are bright pink and elongated, with feathery appendages. Their mouth is large and circular with little teeth surrounding it.
Tickle mites like to hide in anything cloth and multiply extremely quickly. once on is spread to something it only takes hours for their to be thousands of them and a few more for there to be millions. They have been found in seats, clothing, blankets, sheets, mattresses, and anything else cloth, but that Is not the only place they reside. Once they find a host they can hide in there eyelashes, hair, under their nails, even on their skin. They are virtually impossible to get rid of.
Tickle mites love to tickle humans. They do this through excreting chemicals that excite the nervous system and either using their own feathery appendages of the microscopic fibers hanging off of clothing to tickle their victim senseless. They like to use the clothing though, as they find it more affective.
Once they find a victim they wait till they have multiplied sufficiently and are ready to strike. Then they tighten the holes in the clothing item so it is virtually impossible to get off, so they have their tool and strike. They usually only tickle their victim for a few hours but are near impossible to get rid of once someone has them and typically tickle their victims 2-3 times a day.
People with tickle mites will not only experience tickling from the mites but the chemicals have a prolonged affect that makes them increasingly more ticklish the longer they have them, so they commonly become victims to ticklers around the world, but they get their karma as this is often how they are spread.
