What Everyone Should Know
About House Dust Mites
Many people with year-round allergies are sensitized to allergens found in the
home, especially house dust mites. Allergic reactions to dust mites can cause
nasal and lung symptoms, including rhinitis (a blocked or runny nose),
wheezing and asthma. Dust mites are one of the most important causes of
allergy and asthma worldwide. Allergies run in families—if you or your partner
are allergic or have asthma, one or more of your children may also develop
allergies.
Mites are tiny creatures (about 1/3mm in length), related to ticks and spiders
and invisible to the naked eye. They feed off skin scales shed by humans and
thrive in warm, humid conditions. Mites live in bedding, carpets and upholstered
furniture. Dust mites are only a problem for people who are allergic to them—
they do not bite or transmit diseases. You can test dust samples from beds or
carpets to check for mite allergens using the Ventia™ rapid allergen test.
Reducing allergen exposure is recommended by national allergy and asthma
guidelines. Knowing the allergen level in your home and taking steps to reduce
exposure helps to control asthma symptoms and
improve your quality of life.
