The Effects of Dust Mite

This small animal does not locate on our skin, instead clothes, carpet, curtain, or bed and fabric sofa including doll that consist of dust and humidity which sometime they wait to eat dandruff fell on these objects. Furthermore, the tiny animal will grow well in humid areas at 25 degrees Celsius especially on a couch and bed due to the humidity from our bodies. And for allergy this can be caused by the mites themselves or their feces which the feces is a major cause for a symptom of aggressive asthma and allergy.
Allergy Symptoms
There are many types of dust mite allergy. For example, conjunctivitis and rhinitis. Those having allergy will feel itchy around the eyes, nose including suffering from nasal congestion, runny nose as well as tear dropping. However, if you can notice, these reactions usually come after entering to a house or bed room. Beside, when children love jumping to the bed or doing pillow fight. Both cause the dust mite spreading in the air also the reactions that will happen afterward.
Prevention
A doctor specializing in Allergy has stressed about objects in your house that should not be consisted of carpet, fabric sofa, and fabric doll. As well as avoid using curtain instead applying a sun blind for an allergy prevention is preferable. Moreover, to set a bed, the first sheet that will be applied to cover it needs to have an ability to protect an allergy. However, later a general type of sheet or blanket will be laid on top as the second layer afterward. Due to the first layer, the sheet is made of knitting which prevents the spread of dust mites including their feces.
The allergy guard sheet should not be washed frequently. Due to a cause of loose fibers. At least once a month for its washing. However, for pillows as well as other general blankets or sheet should be cleaned in every 2 weeks by hot water with above 60 degrees Celsius temperatures. Which this process will take about 15-30 minutes. On the other hand, using heat tumble dryer can also eliminate the dust mites and their eggs. In addition, taking bedding to sunbath can partially eliminate the mite. Due to they can walk away to other sides where the sun cannot approach. And for Vacuum Cleaner and services as we have seen on media can also provide a partial clean of the mite. According to that reason, other methods should be applied. As mentioned that the simplest way with good cost is to provide allergy guard sheet with hot water cleaning. In fact, air cleaner may also help relieve some allergies such as the allergy of dog hair, pollen, and dust but still it cannot directly get rid of the mites.
