Why are insects living in our body ?

Its enough we see insects living in our home, not paying bills, eating our food. Now I am finding out that almost every human have face mites, there are insects living in our skin and hair. When we die they eat our body. Why can’t these insects leave us humans alone? Why are they living in our face, skin and hair? 

Update:

Face mites is scary, why are they living in our face? I don’t like living creatures inside me.

    I've got great news for you--you DON'T have insects living in your face, skin and hair.  Your face mites have eight legs, not six--they're arachnids, NOT insects.  So you can breathe a sigh of relief   You only have arachnids living on you.

    That should make you feel so much better.
