Real respiratory affects

According to the American Academy
of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (AAAAI), Recent studies
have shown that exposure
to house dust mite
allergens is a significant
risk factor for the develop-
ment of allergic diseases,
such as asthma and rhinitis.

According to Dr. Zeldin, of
the National Institute of
Environmental Health
Sciences (NIEHS), "Results
from an earlier study suggest that over 45% of U.S. homes, or approximately 44 million dwellings, have bedding with dust mite allergen concentrations that exceed a level that has been associated with allergic sensitization.

it is estimated that 22 million homes have bedding with dust mite
allergen concentrations at a
level that can trigger asthma
in susceptible people.

Biological pollutants that live in your home
According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),
Body parts and feces from
dust mites can trigger
asthma in individuals with
allergic reactions to dust
mites,and exposure to dust
mites can cause asthma
in children who have
not previously exhibited
asthma symptoms.
