I’m allergic to dust mites, what can I do?
Filed Under asthma, health tips | 3 Comments
I’m allergic to dust mites, what can I do? House dust mites and their allergens are difficult to avoid. Try to keep your house, and especially the living area and the bedrooms, dry and well ventilated. Avoid textile floor coverings.
If possible, let someone else do the cleaning. Mop the floors instead of vacuuming them.
It can be a good idea to encase pillows, quilts and mattresses in airtight covers that do not allow dust mites or their allergens to pass through. Alternatively, wash your pillow, blanket and bedding regularly at 60°C. Previously, it was recommended that you put your pillow in the freezer regularly to reduce the number of dust mites, but this is unnecessary if you get a cover for your pillow and mattress that does not let the dust mites through. Ask your doctor for advice.
Use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) filter and double bags. You may also feel better if you avoid having dust-collecting textiles and furniture.
Should I get a central vacuum cleaner?
It is not scientifically proven that a central vacuum cleaner is more effective than a modern vacuum cleaner with a HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) filter and double bags.
Can I reduce my asthma if I get an air purifier?
It is not clear whether using an air purifier in the home is effective. If you have no other way of reducing your exposure to allergens or irritants, it may be worth trying. However, you must use it correctly, which includes keeping doors and windows closed in the room where you are using it.
Can acupuncture help my asthma?
Acupuncture releases the body’s own cortisone, among other things, and this can help in some cases.
One or two studies have shown a short temporary effect of acupuncture on asthma, but there are no long-term studies showing any lasting effects.
