A medical condition caused by infestation or infection with mites, resulting in skin problems or other symptoms.
From Latin 'acarus' (mite) plus '-nosis' (disease condition), following the pattern of diseases named after their causative agent.
Acarinosis includes conditions like mange in animals and various dermatitis conditions in humans—and it's a reminder that some of the most uncomfortable itching you could experience comes from creatures you'll never see.
