Dust mites are too small to see with the naked eye. Dust mites thrive in warm, humid environments, they eat dead skin cells and they nest in dust-collecting bedding, fabric, carpet and furnishings.

Some symptoms of house dust mite allergies are itchiness, sneezing, inflamed/infected eczema, watering eyes, runny nose, (if asthma), lungs clogging up and hay fever.
House dust mites are one of the most common allergens that trigger asthma.

One treatment for dust mite allergy is avoidance — that is, taking measures to minimize the number of dust mites in your home.

You can’t completely eliminate dust mites from your home, but you can significantly reduce their number: maintain low humidity in your home, remove dust, vacuum regularly.
