Dust Mite Protection
Dust Mite Protective Covers
House dust mites are microscopic creatures roughly one third of a millimetre long. They thrive in their thousands in warm moist places, feeding on dead skin. It is the mites’ droppings which can cause a strong allergic response when you inhale them.
If your asthma has been shown to be triggered by house dust mite, it is best to concentrate on reducing the dust mite from beds and carpets. These are the most common places to find dust mites. Most allergens remain trapped in pillows, mattresses, quilts and furnishings, and only a small proportion become airborne. One option is using dust mite protective covers to reduce exposure to dust mite allergen in bedding. For more information on reducing dust mites see the information sheet ‘House Dust Mite’.
