Do you or someone in your home suffer from allergies?
If you or someone in your home suffers from allergies its probably because of this little guy right here!
This is a common household dust mite. You can't see them without a microscope. the truth is these little guys are everywhere. On your skin, on your clothes, in your bed. Yuk!
Here's The Facts
The causes and effects of allergies have long been known and can be a serious health threat. Still allergies seem to be on the increase. They are an unwanted response of the immune system resulting in inflammation of the eyes and nose (rhinitis), lungs (asthma), and the skin (eczema). It is estimated that allergies affect some 40% of the population at some time and the percentage is on the increase. One controllable culprit in the battle with allergens is the house dust mite, a microscopic insect which is found in our indoor environment. The bedroom is particularly vulnerable for allergy sufferers as we spend one-third of our life in bed and a good deal of the other time dressing and preparing for the day. We shed skin scales (which is food to the dust mite) into our sleeping environment collected by the linen, pillows, mattress and carpet. All these areas are ideal breeding grounds for the dust mite.
Other Facts
-
It is the house dust mite waste, and not the mites themselves that triggers asthmatic and allergic attacks. Research has revealed this trigger is a microscopic protein in the mite excrement called Der p1.
-
Mites live on carpets, pillows, upholsterd furniture, blankets, mattresses, in the air handler system, etc.
-
The average dust mite is .05 mm in length, not visible to the naked eye. Over 7000 can fit on a fingernail.
-
A dust mite molts several times during its life to producing 200 times its weight in waste and will lay 300 eggs. Each mite produces 40 to 100 feces pellets per day. the mites' droppings are coated in an enzymatic slimy substance, which after drying become mixed with other particles forming household dust.
Is there any help in sight?
The eradication of the dust mite is not the object, because it is virtually impossible. Eliminating the allergen is the initial priority. The first step is thorough cleaning of the home including hot water extraction of the carpet, rugs, and upholstery. Studies by doctors and universities demonstrated that when dust mite droppings are treated with the main active ingredient contained in our allergy treatment spray, the allergens are physically changed, rendering them permanently harmless to people who display allergic symptoms to dust mite allergens. Our allergy treatment is derived from naturally occuring extracts found in plants and trees. It works by instantly deactivating the allergen Der p1 found in dust mite and cockroach droppings by denaturing the substance. You also should consider visiting an allergy specialist for a thorough examination to determine the cause of your asthma, and allergies. Then follow the allergy specialists advice about effective environmental controls and medications which relieve symptoms.
