Do you often find yourself waking up not to the sound of your alarm but to the relentless itch in your eyes and constant sneezing that seems to take over your mornings? Or when you settle down for a peaceful night’s sleep, do you end up tossing and turning and struggling to breathe comfortably? 

 

If that’s the case, it could be that the invisible inhabitants of your home are stirring up more than just dust. These symptoms, often mistaken as a cold or ignored as just another bad night’s sleep, could be a sign that you’re allergic to house dust mites.

 

Other symptoms may include:

  • Runny or itchy nose
  • Nasal congestion
  • Postnasal drip
  • Cough
  • Facial pressure
  • Breathlessness
  • Chest tightness
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Itchy, red, or watery eyes
  • Swollen eyelids.
  • inflamed, itchy, and red skin

 

If you’re experiencing one or more of these issues, it’s a good idea to take a test to get to the root of the issue. 

 

What is a dust mite allergy? 

Dust mites are tiny organisms that grow and thrive in warm and humid environments. They feed on organic matter, such as flakes of human skin, and are commonly found in household dust, bedding, upholstered furniture, and carpeting. If you are allergic to dust mites, your immune system reacts to the proteins found in the mites’ faeces, which are potent allergens. When you inhale or come in contact with these particles, it can cause discomfort.

 

How do I manage my dust mite allergy? 

 

If you’re experiencing any of the symptoms described above, it is important to know that they are not normal and can significantly affect your quality of life. The good news is that there are steps you can take to manage your dust mite allergy, if you discover you have one. 

 

These steps include using allergen-proof bed covers, washing your bedding in hot water weekly, keeping humidity low, removing carpets and heavy drapes, and using high-efficiency air purifiers.

 

However, before taking any action, the best next step is to take an allergy test to determine the cause of your symptoms. With a clear understanding of why you are feeling the way you do, you can start taking control of your health and live a more comfortable lifestyle.
