Dust mites cause illness, kill them with this simple solution!

The size of ticks varies from 0.1 to 0.5 mm. Widely distributed around the globe. The normal cycle of their life is about 65-80 days, the female at a time lays about 60 eggs. The ideal habitat is an apartment with a temperature of 18-25 ° C. In addition, they love high humidity.

Dust mites are one of the most common causes of asthma. These arachnids live in mattresses and carpets and feed on dead skin particles, which a person loses daily in the amount of 1.5 g.

The mites themselves leave after themselves feces containing digestive enzymes: proteins Der f1 and Der p1. They contribute to the destruction of human skin cells that these creatures feed, and can cause severe allergic reactions in some people.

Ticks live primarily in pillows, mattresses, bedspreads, sofas, etc. It is their excrement of 30 micrometers in diameter, containing the P1 antigen, that causes allergy.

Scientists from the University of Munich have proven that in children living in rural areas, allergic reactions are much less common than in urban areas, because of early contact with animals and their food in the first and relatively sterile environmental conditions in the latter.

Home dust contains pincers of the genus Dermatophagoides, which live in paper books, upholstered furniture and carpets and feed on exfoliated particles of the human epidermis. The antigens of these ticks in people with hypersensitivity cause seizures of bronchial asthma, atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis and conjunctivitis. Treatment includes desensitization (with the help of microbe extracts) and dust control (wet cleaning, frequent vacuuming, removal of carpets from the bedroom, etc.).

In the formation of household allergies play the role of house dust mites - Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus pyroglyphs, Dermatophagoides farinae, Euroglyphus maynei, etc. The mites are in carpets, home shoes, upholstered furniture, under the skirting boards. For the development and reproduction of ticks, humidity above 55% and air temperature of 22-26 ° C are necessary. In 70% of children with bronchial asthma, a tick allergy is detected. In tick-borne bronchial asthma exacerbations occur in the spring-autumn period, especially at night.

To date, about 150 species of ticks have been found in house dust. They are called dermatophagoid or pyroglipid mites.

These tiny little bugs that live in bedding, carpets, or any upholstered furniture and like to eat dead skin cells. These mites cause allergies and a lot of health problems related to asthma, as well as skin diseases.

Signs of a dust mite:

• sneeze,
• Runny nose,
• redness,
• Itching or watery eyes,
• Itching in the nose, throat or palate,
• cough,
• Swollen, blue skin, in the area under the eyes

People who suffer from asthma will experience difficulty breathing, chest pain, shortness of breath, sleep problems, and increased susceptibility to colds.

Constant vacuuming and washing of bed linen are a good way to eliminate dust mites, but some items such as pillows and mattresses are not so easy to clean.

There is a great way to eliminate dust mites by spraying a solution of eucalyptus oil .

What do we need:

• 2 cups of distilled water
• 15-30 drops of eucalyptus oil

Mode of application:

• Spray on all objects that can not be cleaned in the usual way.
• Hang them in a warm, dry place.
• Repeat 3 times a week to remove all dust mites

Studies have shown that eucalyptus and other essential oils are effective in combating dust mites , in addition, it is eucalyptus oil that will do it without harm to you.

ATTENTION! Unfortunately, eucalyptus essential oil is not safe for children under the age of 10. However, there are other oils that are safe and will also eliminate dust mites such as clove and dill oil.
