We found a bug attached to our four year old daughters lower eyelashes hair follicle. It looked like a stye but then a closer magnifying glass it seemed to be a tiny tick. We took her to urgent care to remove because of the location. But after we put it under a microscope and its body is clear. It was attached to her by the head and it seems to have two long arms that curl near the head. Am I looking at a chicken mite?! We cleaned the chicken coop out on Sunday. She was holding chickens and we first saw a spot on her eye on Monday. Please help because I need to protect and treat the coop if so. Also, not allow our children to hold them until its cleared. Thank you so much!
