To know if you do need a Dust Mites Treatment you will want to know first if you are allergic. Are you showing any allergy symptoms? Studies have shown that as many as 10% of the general population and 90% of those who suffer from allergic asthma are sensitive to dust mites. Another study shows 45% of young people with asthma are allergic to them also, not good numbers.

Dust Mite Allergy Symptoms

Unfortunately, it is the mites cast skins and fecal matter that make up a large portion of household dust, it is these particles that cause allergic reactions in people when inhaled or if it comes in contact with your skin. When this happens it is the proteins in the particles that create antibodies in those who are allergic. These antibodies then cause histamines to be released and then cause nasal congestion and irritation in the upper repertory passageways.

Symptoms can include

Itchy watery eyes
Sneezing
Runny nose
Sinus Congestion
Chronic Cough
Difficulty breathing
Asthma attack
Eczema

Dust mites themselves are in your home year-round and they can cause these symptoms at any time, however they are concentrated much more in the higher humidity times of the season. They thrive on high humidity and if the temperatures in your home are high and the humidity is high, even in a dry climate, they will still thrive.

Beds are a major habitat of dust mites. Typically a used mattress could have 10,000 to 10,000,000 mites inside. Since mites feed on dead skin flakes, this is a prime source of food for them. Not an ideal thought but it is true.
