WHY DUST MITES ALLERGENS CAN BE DETRIMENTAL TO HEALTH?
Dust Mites in the Home
House dust mites are tiny, microscopic creatures which live in nearly every Australian home. Millions can live in even the cleanest of homes, and even the most meticulous cleaning will fail to eliminate them.
Dust mites are found in mattresses, carpets, bedding, bed linen and drapes and are mainly concentrated in bedrooms where humans spend approx. 8 hours every day. Up to 2 million can live in an average size bed.
House dust mites like moist conditions and moderate temperatures and thrive on an ample supply of human and animal skin, scales and other debris.
Asthma, Allergies & Family Health
Dust mite allergy is extremely common in Hong Kong and China. Up to a third of the population is affected with many people living constantly with respiratory problems caused by an allergy to dust mites.
Many people with asthma are allergic to allergens from house dust mites. Research in the United Kingdom has shown that over 80% of children suffering from asthma are sensitized to dust mites and their allergens.1 By reducing the number of dust mites in the house you can significantly reduce the frequency and risk of asthma and allergy attacks in the home. 2,3
