Are mites having sex on your face?

Apparently, per this NatGeo video, the answer is yes, absolutely. They have an article that goes into more depth, but it's grossing me out to write about this stuff so go to NatGeo and read it yourself. I need to go take a shower, or maybe two.
Microscopic mites are having sex on your face, and researchers from North Carolina State University are eager to study them. The "Meet Your Mites" program is collecting samples from ordinary citizens to learn more about the life cycle of these microscopic creatures that live on all human adults.
