Out of the pollen, into the dust mites

Out of the pollen into the dust mites
For many, the coughing, sneezing, wheezing, runny noses and itchy eyes start when the body's immune system senses the irritants invading the nose and airways, then releases antibodies that normally target disease-causing organisms such as bacteria and viruses. The antibodies trigger release of histamines, and those chemicals trigger the symptoms.


But most will continue to suffer into the winter. There are a few ways they can prepare for the dust motes and mites of winter.


The main goal is to keep indoor air as clean as possible by using a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA)filter with forced-air furnaces, and adding air vaccum cleaning in bedrooms or other places where people spend much of their time.
