What are the dangers of dust mites?
The dust you can see in the air is over 80% dead human skin, the main staple of the Dust Mite. Each speck of dust carries around 40 THOUSAND dust mites, and each year a 1,500 sq ft home will produce approximately 40 pounds of dust. When you are breathing the air inside your home you are inhaling large quantities of dust mite fecal material and cast skins. In fact, EPA studies have shown that the most potent house dust allergens can be extracted from the feces produced by dust mites. There are ways of decreasing the impact dust mites have on your family. The first is a good air filtration system within your HVAC unit. Media air filters can greatly reduce the allergens in the air caused by dust mites. You also have the option of a UV Light, which uses ultra-violet light to kill the microbes that pass through it, including dust mites.
