Is It Allergies or Is It Dust Mites?
Are Your Kids Scratching and You Can't Work Out Why?
Sneezing, itchy eyes, nasal congestion and irritated skin can have many possible causes. For some people, one potential trigger inside the home is exposure to dust mite allergens.
Dust mites are microscopic creatures commonly found in household dust. They tend to live in areas where dead skin cells accumulate, particularly mattresses, bedding, upholstered furniture and carpets.
For households with people who are sensitive to dust mites, reducing exposure to these allergens can form part of a broader allergy-management routine.
