"Do you ever wake up with a headache, itchy eyes or congestion !"


"Do you ever wake up with a 

headache, itchy eyes or congestion !"

Many people believe their allergies are a result of changes in the weather, mold and pollen, which could all be true, but allergies can also be caused by household dust mites. 
Dust mites feed on dead skin, and people shed enough of it each day to feed millions of them. Invisible to the naked eye, these little guys are easy to ignore until they become a respiratory irritant. It is impossible to eliminate dust mites entirely from your home, but there are ways to greatly reduce them,and by constantly adhering to the principles of cleanliness doing a bit at a time greatly enhance good health !


Dust mites are tiny cream-colored organisms that live off organic materials like dead skin flakes or dust, making our homes the perfect feasting grounds. These little guys live in our carpets, pillows, mattresses, beds and rugs because they provide both food and moisture. The average bed is home to anywhere from 100,000-10,000,000 dust mites. Our health is not affected by dust mites themselves, but by the allergens they produce in their feces, which we can inhale into our lungs.
