So I'm actually harboring life for a large number of organisms, what a great deed. 😖

Kandi, some info for you.
After much research on the subject on the internet there is a general consensus that 90% of teenage acne is caused by demodex mites and that only 10% is caused by bacteria. Because the sebaceous glands produce more sebum during our teenage years because of our fluctuating hormone levels it makes our facial skin an ideal breeding ground for demodex mites. They can quickly increase in numbers and this is what results in bacterial infections and acne. As they decompose they block our pores which leads to infections, pimples etc. People who suffer from adult acne and rosacea, which are also thought to be caused by demodex mites, commonly suffer from really bad acne when they are going through their teenage years. There appears to be a link here which needs further investigation. Clinical studies have shown that tea tree oil kills demodex mites. In Eastern Europe and China it is well known and an accepted theory that demodex mites cause acne. They also prescribe creams and lotions that contain tea tree oil to kill demodex mites and therefore help with acne and rosacea. In the US and Europe this is still not accepted because we rely on the drug companies to lead the way but unfortunately for us, the consumer, there is no profit in tea tree oil medications since it is natural and it cannot be patented.

You're so right Kandi. That wasn't supposed to be serious. That was my version of sarcasm, which is okay to use on bugs, because they don't get hurt feelings. And teens have them more than others.
