On the Human skin are living more creatures of these, than existing Humans on Earth.

Are you sure? I remember reading that about bacteria, not mites.

    yes, Bacteria certainly vital for us, but also certain mites can have certain positive immunologyvefects. The human body is an full ecosystem, because of this an antibiotic abuse can have several negative effects. Antibiotics are important in bacterial infections, but not, as is often the case, in viral diseases, colds or prophylactically, worse, many times without a medical prescription..

    I meant that the question wasn't about the positive effects of parasites but about the number you mentioned.

    The total bacteria mass [they] find represents about 0.3% of the overall body weight, significantly updating previous statements that 1%–3% of the body mass is composed of bacteria or that a normal human hosts 1–3 kg of bacteria [NIH. NIH Human Microbiome Project defines normal bacterial makeup of the body. Natl Institutes Heal 2012. (accessed January 3, 2015). link 5th paragraph from top].
