Allergies
An ‘allergy’ is a physical reaction, which occurs when the body is exposed to a particular substance such as house dust mites and their droppings. Common symptoms associated with an allergy are sneezing, wheezing and coughing, sinus pain and running nose, itchy eyes, ears throat and skin rashes, sickness and diarrhoea. Allergies can also trigger fatal reactions.
House dust mites are tiny creatures that cannot be seen with the naked eye but they live in all of our homes and are most commonly found in sofa’s, beds and carpets and feed on skin flakes moistened by bodily fluids.
