On the Human skin are living more creatures of these, than existing Humans on Earth. For example, these are running across your face right now without you noticing. All of us have these maskots.
Are you sure? I remember reading that about bacteria, not mites.
yes, Bacteria certainly vital for us, but also certain mites can have certain positive immunologyvefects. The human body is an full ecosystem, because of this an antibiotic abuse can have several negative effects. Antibiotics are important in bacterial infections, but not, as is often the case, in viral diseases, colds or prophylactically, worse, many times without a medical prescription..
You forgot to answer the question
Maybe.. https://www.statnews.com/2016/04/15/parasite-benefits-humans/ https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2010/may/23/parasitic-hookworm-jasper-lawrence-tim-adams https://journals.plos.org/plospathogens/article?id=10.1371/journal.ppat.1005039
I meant that the question wasn't about the positive effects of parasites but about the number you mentioned.
