       How about some sort of burrowing worm? One worm could be introduced to each follicle to eat the hair before it escaped the skin. This would avoid the need for crawly things on the skin.

       There are actually mites that live in hair follicles.

       One of the main problems is the sensitivity of hair. I'm scratching my head just by reading this post.

       They won't eat the dried-out ends of the hairs, they'll go right for the tender roots - Yeoowch!
