What are some of the symptoms of an internal mite problem?
Some with a prolonged bird mite infestation in the home eventually have problems with the mites becoming internal for at least part of their life cycle. Some symptoms include: a productive cough with white phlegm in the morning, itching ears and eyes, sneezing and coughing when the mites are in the nose/mouth, and men may wake up with painful erections in the night when the mites are in the urethra. Long-term effects include joint aches, mental fatigue, lose of weight, and other symptoms both subtle and obvious. Some symptoms may be directly related to the mites and their toxins and other symptoms may be related to dealing with stress for a long time; which can affect the person’s immune system.
