Every year before and after the National Day, many allergy sufferers aggravated, it turned out that ah, in the north of China, the most common cause of allergies allergens are dust mites, although the dust mite exists throughout the year, right, but this season’s temperature, humidity and other climatic conditions are more suitable for dust mites breeding and reproduction, it is also celebrating it. Here’s what we know about dust mites and diseases caused by dust mite allergy: 1. Dust mite is a small insect, the body is extremely small, the naked eye is not easy to observe, generally not parasitic, do not bite, to human and animal body shedding dander and nutritious powdered food for food. In the north of China, the main types of allergies are house dust mites and dust mites. Dust mites live mainly on bedding, mattresses, pillowcases and people’s clothes in bedrooms, and they also breed in places such as food processing and storage. Dust mites are the most common and important allergens in China, and their excretions and body fragments contain strong allergenic proteins. Diseases caused by dust mites include allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis, bronchial asthma, atopic dermatitis and so on. 2.Which people are prone to the disease? Allergic diseases can occur at all ages from newborns to middle-aged and old people, but most of them occur in children and adolescents. Nearly half of the patients in our clinic are under the age of 18, and adolescent-onset diseases, such as asthma, tend to be more severe than adult-onset diseases. Dust mites alone are indoor allergens, and because of lifestyle habits, children first stay indoors after birth and are exposed to inhalant allergens other than food, such as dust mites. From our experience, allergic children, the progress of their allergies began as food allergies, mostly after the age of 2 years of inhalant allergen allergy, the most common is dust mite allergy. 3.What diseases can be caused by dust mite allergy? Dust mite allergen belongs to inhalant allergens, often causing respiratory allergic diseases, such as bronchial asthma, allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis. It has been reported that more than 50% of respiratory patients (asthma, rhinitis) are caused by dust mite allergy. The most important feature of allergic asthma is prolonged coughing and wheezing, especially in the middle of the night and early in the morning, while allergic rhinitis patients have itchy nose, continuous sneezing in the early morning, and runny nose. Allergic conjunctivitis, the performance of the main itchy eyes, other such as tearing, conjunctival congestion, etc., and allergic rhinitis, known as allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, can also exist alone. Dust mite allergy can also be manifested as skin allergic diseases. 4.What are the patterns of dust mite allergic diseases? The pathogenesis of allergic diseases varies according to the habits of allergens and the sensitivity of the body. In the case of dust mite allergy, ① the diurnal pattern is the onset in the middle of the night, the early morning or the morning; ② the seasonal pattern has a few cases: perennial onset (may be aggravated in spring and fall), spring and fall onset, the onset of the ambient weather, the onset of the winter; ③ the onset of the disease in the place of non-ventilation, such as closed meeting rooms, underground supermarkets and so on. 5.What are the standardized treatments for dust mite allergy? Allergic disease is a long-term chronic disease, about 1/4 of the world’s population is affected by it. The World Health Organization has recommended the best treatment plan for allergic diseases – “four-in-one” comprehensive treatment plan, i.e., correct diagnosis, avoidance of allergens, specific immunotherapy (i.e., desensitization), appropriate symptomatic treatment and good patient education. Correct etiologic diagnosis is the basis and premise of effective treatment. Avoidance of allergens can prevent the onset of disease and prevent the immune system from continuing to receive “stimulation”. Specific immunotherapy is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) as “the only treatment that can influence the underlying mechanisms of allergic diseases and thus change their natural course”, aiming at normalizing the imbalanced immune system through regular immunization injections and gradually “adapting” to external allergens. The aim is to normalize the imbalanced immune system through regular immunization injections, so that it can gradually “adapt” to external allergens, thus avoiding the occurrence of allergic symptoms. The key to appropriate symptomatic treatment is “appropriate”, effectively controlling existing symptoms, while minimizing the need for medication. Allergic diseases are long-term chronic diseases that affect about one quarter of the world’s population.

Frequently open the windows to ventilate, sunlight bedding, pillows; choose home textiles with smooth surfaces, do not use carpets, blankets, do not set up plush toys; room cleaning regularly, use vacuum cleaners with allergy net, air conditioning filters are often washed and often replaced; indoor humidity down to less than 45%; do not raise pets in the room.
