Understanding Dust Allergies and their Treatment
Options
A runny or stuffy nose, watery and itchy eyes, and sneezing are some of the allergy symptoms you might encounter as a result of exposure to dust. Vacuuming, sweeping, and dusting are some of the common household chores that can also cause wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and other asthma symptoms.
The most common cause of allergic reactions to house dust are dust mites also known as bed mites. Dust mites easily multiply in warm humid places, and prefer a temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit or above. Dust mites also need a relative humidity between 75-80% to thrive. Proteins within the bodies and feces of the dust mites are the cause of allergic reactions. Dust mites feed on skin particles and dander, so they are commonly found where there are animals and people. Since dust mites cannot spread diseases, and do not bite, they are only harmful to people who develop allergies to them.
Dust mite protein particles are commonly found in pillows, mattresses, carpeting, and upholstered furniture. The best way to fight dust allergies is to eliminate their source by having your carpets and upholstery thoroughly cleaned, and NEIGHBORHOOD CHEM-DRY provides the perfect solution to your dust mite and allergen problems!
