Mite sensation

I regularly take my dog to the veteran's once a month.
When I was waiting for the examination of my turn, a patient was consulting with the staff at the counter. He was explained the prescription of the medicine for his dog. The staff talked to him about the mite which are active in the area of western Japan and several people were killed by the disease caused by the mite.
His dog might be affected by the mite and had trouble with the skin...something like that I guessed. So he needed to treat his dog from the problem. The staff also advised that if he should have something problem with his skin he should go to see the dermatologist.
I heard about the news that 5 people died of the disease mite had brought.
So it warned that you need to remove the dust and clothes when you came back from outside in the wild field. You should not let mite into home, especially via pets.
They prefer to live in the fur of dogs and cats at home. They are vampire to eat blood and give germ.
I was realarmed at the caution by the veteran's.
