Eczema Treatment - Eliminating House Dust Mite

The most common trigger for any kind of allergy is a microscopic animal that feeds on human skin cells is the house dust mite. In fact, it is not mite itself that provokes the allergic reaction but a protein found in its droppings. House dust mites, just 1/3 mm long, are too small to be seen by naked eye, and no matter how clean you keep your home it is seething with millions of them.

The mites feed on the tiny flakes of skin which we all shed as we go about our daily life, and as people with eczema shed more skin flakes than others, they provide a constant food supply for the mites. House dust mites prefer a slightly damp atmosphere, and your mattress, bedding and bedroom carpet in particular furnish a rich harvest for them to feed on even if your bedroom is dusted and vacuumed until it gleams.

Reducing house dust mites

The precise steps you should take to avoid mites are the subject of argument. To reduce numbers significantly throughout your house would involve you in virtual non-stop cleaning. Generally it’s worth having a look around your house and removing any obvious dust collectors, especially in the bedroom.

Try to cultivate a taste for minimalist look in interior design and avoid clutter: keep clothes, toys, books and ornaments in cupboards and go for hard flooring in preference to fitted carpets. If you must have carpets or rugs, choose ones with a flat weave or short pile made from synthetic fibers and ensure that they are easily washable.

Children with eczema that they likely to benefit more than adults from many measures you take, but try to be realistic in your approach and avoid letting the washing machine and the vacuum cleaner dominate your life.

Damp dusting certainly seems to help (dry dusting releases mite dropping into the air), and if you or your child have severe eczema, it may be a good idea to do away with carpets completely and have wooden floors, lino or tiles. It’s better to use vacuum cleaner than a broom for getting rid of dust, because sweeping also stirs up mite droppings.

It is possible to buy vacuum cleaner with special filtration system and dust bags which prevent dust from being discharged back into the air. The main drawback is that they tend to cost a lot and it’s not yet known how effective they are in reducing mite numbers. However, you may feel this is something worth investigating.
