The Problem
Each year more than 50 million Americans suffer from allergic diseases. Dust mites are a major cause of allergies and asthma.
House dust mites are microscopic spider-like creatures. The good news is that dust mites don't bite. Their diet consists of the flakes of dead skin that pour off our bodies each day. Their waste products, when inhaled by sensitive people, cause allergy symptoms. When some children are exposed to dust mites, they get asthma.
Dust mites live in mattresses, bedding, pillows, carpets, fabric furniture and stuffed toys, even in the cleanest homes. American beds are crawling with dust mites - and their waste. Depending on the age of a mattress, it may contain between 100,000 and 10,000,000 dust mites. 20-50% of the weight of the average pillow is made up of dust mites.
Due to their light weight, dust mites also become airborne. Routine activities, such as making the bed or children jumping and playing, can send them floating in the air where they are then distributed throughout the house and are inevitably inhaled as we breathe.
