Body itching due to constant clothes changing during the winter and autumn season? Be at the mercy of invisible allergy killers, dust mites at any time!

Do you experience constant sneezing and body itching the moment you clear out your autumn and winter clothings? This is because the weather in Hong Kong is warm and humid, which is the most optimum environment for dust mites to breed. When the seasons change, taking out clothes that have been stored for nearly half a year may cause allergic reactions due to inadvertent inhalation of dust mites and their excrement, resulting in nasal allergy, skin sensitivity and other problems. In addition to using different methods to reduce dust mites, it is very important to find out allergens. When

you know you have an allergic reaction to dust mites, you can avoid them and arrange a suitable life plan.

Dust mites are very small arthropods, only about 0.03 cm in size. They live in an environment of 22 to 26 degrees Celsius and a humidity of about 70 to 80%. They hide in the combs, carpets, curtains, wool, dolls, mattresses, sheets and pillows, and even seasonal clothing that have been washed and placed inside the wardrobe.

The dust mites themselves, their corpses and excrement contain some proteases, allergens that can induce human immune allergic responses. On average, each bed contains 2 million dust mites and their feces. The mattress can really be referred to as their "warm bed", and the 28 grams of skin cells we shed every month will become their food source!

It is very important to find out allergens. Once you know whether you will have an allergic reaction to dust mites, you can avoid the allergens and arrange a suitable life plan to reduce outbreaks caused by accidental exposure to allergens in daily life.

It is in fact not difficult to prevent dust mite allergies. You only need to find out the allergen, so when the environment is not optimum, these invisible killers will no longer make their way!
