Dust mites feed on dead skin cells that people shed as they sleep, making beds the prime spot for an infestation.
As a result, proper dust mite control is crucial for family homes as well as hotels and lodges, old age homes, and especially hospitals. Although these microscopic creatures do not bite, infest skin, or live in hair follicles, they can be the cause of allergic reactions in some people.
These reactions will not be a rash type of reaction, but rather a respiratory constriction, a common symptom of asthma. Itchy, watery eyes may also be symptoms.
