There have been several stories in the news recently about the return of dust mites, which is rapidly becoming a growing problem throughout North America as well as worldwide.
Please note that Healthy Mattress Cleaning Co is equipped to handle dust mite problems and we have a treatment specialist on board to assist you should you encounter a dust mite situation.
Dust mites are present in every room of every home, multi-bed facility such as hotels, dormitories, nursing homes and just about any building.
Dust mites are microscopic bugs that primarily live on dead skin cells shed regularly from humans and their pets. They don’t carry disease, but they can cause some rather uncomfortable and sometimes dangerous allergic reactions in a growing number of people who are allergic to their feces.
Dust mites create even more of a problem for asthmatics and others with severe allergies. A single dust mite produces about 20 waste droppings (feces) each day, each containing a protein to which many people are allergic.
Depending on the person and exposure, reactions can range from itchy red eyes, headaches, nasal and sinus problems, scratchy or sore throat, fatigue, depression, to triggering more frequent asthma attacks. And, unlike other types of mites, house dust mites are not parasites since they only eat dead skin.
