Today I would like to touch upon an extremely acute problem that is called a Dust Mite. Such mites are microscopic arachnids that live in our houses and feed on dead skin and hair. They can be easily found in beds and carpets. Mites are extremely tiny creatures, the only one way to see them is to use a microscope.

As a rule dust mites live not more than 80 days (actually, approximately 30 days). Females lay 1 or 2 eggs per day. Be careful the more humidity in your home the more favourable conditions for mites development are. There are 1,000 mites in one gram of dust.

According to numerous scientists we should blame dust mites for frequent wheezing, itching, asthma and other allergic reactions. Although everything depends on person’s own predisposition. The most annoying point – you will never get rid of them completely, you can only control their rate.

Symptoms of Allergies to Dust Mites:

• watering eyes;
• runny nose;
• constant itching and sneezing;
• difficulties in breathing;
• hay fever …

Things to do:

• wash your sheets and blankets in very hot water and as often as possible, at least every two weeks;
• put all your sleeping belongings into plastic covers after actually sleeping;
• use synthetic fabrics;
• control humidity and temperature levels;
• make cleanings at least two times a week;
• remove carpets, cloth drapes and blinds;
• change air filters regularly;
• use a reliable vacuum;
• ventilate your house;
• air your rooms.

Good luck and take care )))
