The mites are pale-colored, wingless, smooth, soft-bodied, nearly microscopic organ- ism with four pairs of legs. In large numbers the mites appear as loose, fluffy masses of gray powder. They sometimes swarm from infested materials and may even attack humans handling infested materials, causing a severe skin condition known as "grocer's ; Moist conditions favor their develop- ment. Large numbers of mites indicate that the infested product has a higher than desired moisture content. WHAT TO DO: Locate and destroy the infested mate- rial.
