House dust mites and allergies

House dust mites are considered to be responsible for 60% of allergies and could be involved in the emergence of new allergies, such as asthma, for which the first symptoms often go often unnoticed.

What is the mechanism?

The House dust mites are rarely in contact with the allergic patient. They live deep down inside the mattress, where the living conditions for them are ideal.

The allergy is not due to contact with house dust mites but from their excretions, which are mixed with house dust.

In this mechanism, the mattress plays a leading role.

In the mattress, the dust mites find their food, evacuate their excretions, reproduce themselves, and ultimately die.
