About this test

Dust mites may be the most common trigger of year-round allergies and asthma. They are on every continent except Antarctica. It may not be possible to rid your home entirely of these creatures. But there are ways in which you can lessen your allergic reactions to them.

When you breathe in the waste products of dust mites, your immune system kicks into high gear, producing antibodies against the normally harmless substances. This overzealous immune response causes the symptoms associated with a dust mite allergy, such as sneezing and runny nose.

  • Use allergen-proof bed covers. Keep your mattress and pillows in dustproof or allergen-blocking covers
  • Wash bedding weekly
  • Keep humidity low
  • Choose bedding wisely
  • Buy washable stuffed toys
  • Remove dust
  • Vacuum regularly
  • Cut clutter

Dust mites are extremely tiny bugs that belong to the spider family. They live in house dust and feed on the dead skin cells that people regularly shed. Dust mites can survive in all climates and at most altitudes. They thrive in warm environments, preferring those at 70℉ (21℃) and 70 percent relative humidity.
