The sample have to be kept in the 70% alcohol so it will be last longer and not damage. The sample was then observed and identified by using microscopes. Dissection method was conducted to the Brown-Hooded Cockroach to confirm that the Nematode which protruded from the patient’s face which undergo the traditional method treatment is come from the cockroach and not from the patient’s skin. It was concluded that the facial hair follicle parasites is Demodex mites and it can be removed by using the Traditional method of treatment.
