Dust Mite Allergies

Dust mite allergies arise from a hypersensitive immune response to tiny creatures known as dust mites. These microscopic organisms thrive in household dust, feeding on skin cells and leaving behind particles that trigger allergic reactions in susceptible individuals. Symptoms often include sneezing, a runny or congested nose, itchy or watery eyes, coughing, and sometimes skin irritations like eczema. These reactions can significantly impact daily comfort and quality of life.

​

Diagnosis of dust mite allergies involves a thorough evaluation by an allergist, typically through physical examination and specialized tests like skin prick tests or blood tests to identify specific allergens. Management includes a range of strategies such as frequent cleaning practices, using allergen-proof covers on bedding, controlling indoor humidity levels, and considering medical treatments like antihistamines, decongestants, or immunotherapy to alleviate symptoms and reduce allergic responses.
