Title: Dust mites, allergies and asthma
Description: This book contains everything you need to know about allergies and especially those caused by house dust mites. Over 200 research papers have been reviewed for the book, of which are listed at the end of every chapter. The author is convinced that dust mites are a very important source of allergens which are found at very close proximity to humans, such as the bed, pillow and carpets or cushions. The bed especially provides ideal conditions for the dust mites to thrive, being rich in skin cells and moisture that the mites need. It is their droppings which contain the proteins that make people allergic, causing asthma, eczema and runny noses.
