What are Dust Mites?
 Dust Mite

|
Dust mites (microscopic, sightless, eight-legged arthropods) are a part of everyday life and thrive on dead skin cells, which are regularly shed from humans and their pets (dander). Dander can be found anywhere in your house, and is often concentrated in our beds, clothing, carpets, pillows and other areas that might be warm and humid.
Many people are allergic to the fecal material of dust mites and dander due to the high content of protein found in the fecal material when it mixes with dander. Depending on the person and exposure, reactions can vary from itchy eyes to asthma attacks.
Where do Dust Mites live?
Dust mites are too small to be seen by naked eyes, but that doesn't stop them from invading our homes. They live in any place where dead flecks of human-skin (bed covers, mattresses, pillows, carpets, furniture, and clothes) are present. Unlike pollen, dust mites are present all year round.
