Ear mites are known for feeding on what?

Skin cells
Hair follicles
Blood and tissue of the ear canal
Yeast

The correct answer is: Blood and tissue of the ear canal

Ear mites primarily thrive by feeding on the blood and tissue of the ear canal. They are tiny parasites that inhabit the outer ear and can cause significant irritation and inflammation by their feeding habits. This feeding activity can lead to symptoms such as intense itching, inflammation, and the production of dark waxy exudate in the ears of affected animals. Understanding the feeding behavior of ear mites is crucial for effective treatment and management in animal control, as it highlights the importance of addressing both the symptoms and the underlying parasitic infection to restore the health of the affected animals.
