Along with seasonal allergies, many people - about 20 million Americans -suffer from what is called "indoor allergies." The major trigger of indoorallergies is the common dust mite, a microscopic creature measuring onequarter of a millimeter. Dust mites have no developed respiratory system andno eyes, and spend their lives eating, reproducing and eliminating wasteproducts. It is their waste products, not the mites themselves, which causeallergic reactions.
While having dust mites does not mean your house isn't clean, keeping yourhouse as allergen-free as possible can improve your indoor air quality. TheAsthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) believes that controlling theair quality in your home, office, school and car can reduce allergy and asthmatriggers which includes controlling cockroaches, avoiding mold spores,preventing entry of pollen by keeping windows and doors closed, preventinganimal dander, vacuuming one or twice a week, and controlling dust mites.
According to AAFA, a leading method to control dust mites is to putzippered allergen impermeable encasements on all pillows, mattresses and boxsprings.
