basicq, demodex follicularis, a mite is the right answer, and yeah, i didn't know it either, but remember seeing it in our derm rotations in a kid. dunno how HY it is, but i guess it's something you should know about, esp since there's an infestation rate estimated to be more than 90% in aged people. It is an ectoparasite like the rest of the choices.
