Dust mite allergies are triggered by proteins found in the mites’ cast-off body parts, secretions and feces. Decreasing the allergen is effective in reducing the symptoms.

Typical dust mite allergy symptoms include:

• Sneezing
• Runny nose
• Irritated eyes
• Skin irritation
• Asthma symptoms

Because dust mites flourish year-round in the home, dust mite allergy symptoms are usually not seasonal.
