Dust Mite Allergy

Dust mite allergy is a common allergic reaction to tiny creatures called dust mites, which thrive in household dust. These microscopic insects feed on dead skin cells and are found in bedding, carpets, and upholstery. When dust mites die or their waste products are released into the air, they can trigger symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and asthma. Managing this allergy involves keeping living spaces clean, using dust-proof covers on bedding, and reducing humidity to limit dust mite populations, allowing individuals to breathe easier and feel more comfortable in their environment.
