Lowered immunity can be a cause for mite infectation.Maintain a healthy diet.Keep proper hygiene of your clothes and bedding.Shampoo your hair regularly.You can add oral ivermevtin for killing mites.Apply thick vaselline over eyebrow mites.This will reduce your discomfort and also reduce mites.Eyebrow mites usually stick and get killed to sticky material like vaselline or petrolium gelly.

Hope this will help you.Take care.
