I just bought the pillow and mattress encasements at Walmart. I also washed all bedding in hot water and vacuumed the mattress and carpets under the bed thoroughly. I also purchased an air filter for my bedroom. I feel so exhausted, lol 😆, but after getting a positive dust mite allergy test, I'm doing my best to feel better. I've been suffering for years. Nasal congestion and coughing, fluid in my ears, and purple rings under my eyes in the morning are severe. I'm ready to sleep in a tent out back 😂

I washed towels, beddings, pillow and bed cases weekly. And air pillows in the sun, constantly. Today I bought a dust mite vacuum. What I don't have is allergen covers..

I am severely allergic to dust mites. I've gotten 19 allergy shots so far and the injection site swells up to an Eisenhower Half dollar size. I am spending a vacation in New Jersey for two weeks, and the mattress in the bedroom I sleep in has no allergy proofing. I've sneezed on average about 15 to 25 times per night! Not fun at all.
Dust mites tend to be worse in the summer, especially when it is hot and humid outside.

And if my carpet hasn't been cleaned by professionals in four years would it help? And wash all bedding in hot water with half cup of bleach by weekly???? Expensive water bill!

You know that everyone's dust mite allergies kick up in the fall, right? That's because when you turn on the heat their shit and dessiciated body parts starts blowing around.

What about fleece blankets? Are they really bad to have in the bedroom?

I've become asthmatic from having allergic rhinitis. This is really bad :(

I have some kind of mite that is everywhere in my home and on my dogs. My babies have them so bad their fur is falling out . In their ears and all around tail end. How can I treat them, I'm hoping there is a shampoo or spray that will rid them of the mites. Mites are in my food, just everywhere!! I have them in my hair, and all over my body. Massive infestation. Please help!
