Often an allergist will need to conduct a skin test to determine exactly what is triggering an allergic reaction.

Sometimes the medical interview will reveal a likely culprit-for instance, a girl who gets a stuffy nose every time she plays with a friend’s cat might have an allergy to cats or to the dust infused with cat hair in her friend’s house. To pinpoint the cause of your symptoms, the allergist will ask detailed questions about your work and home environments, family medical history, frequency and severity of symptoms and exposure to pets and other possible triggers. If you think you may have an allergy to any of the components of house dust, see an allergist. In households with birds, feathers and bird droppings can also become embedded in household dust and cause problems for people who are allergic to them. Their dander (skin flakes), saliva and urine can cause an allergic reaction, especially when combined with household dust.

Pets can cause problems for allergic patients in several ways. Pollen is a common component of household dust and may be the true cause of a dust allergy.

For instance, some people are allergic to pollen from only beech trees others are allergic to pollen from only certain kinds of grasses. People can be allergic to different types of pollen. Pollen comes from trees, grasses, flowers and weeds. Tiny mold particles and spores are a common component of household dust and may be the true cause of a dust allergy. Molds live everywhere-on logs and on fallen leaves, and in moist places like bathrooms and kitchens. There are many different kinds of mold-some kinds you can see, others you can’t. When people with a mold allergy inhale the spores, they get allergy symptoms. Mold is a fungus that makes spores that float in the air. Tiny particles from the cockroach are a common component of household dust and may be the true cause of a dust allergy. Some people develop allergy symptoms when they are around cockroaches. CockroachesĬockroaches live in all types of buildings and neighborhoods. In fact, a vigorous cleaning can make an allergic person’s symptoms worse. The particles are too tiny to be seen and often cannot be removed using normal cleaning procedures. They float into the air when anyone vacuums, walks on a carpet or disturbs bedding and they settle once the disturbance is over.ĭust mites are a common cause of asthma in children.Ī house does not need to be visibly dirty to trigger a dust mite allergy reaction. They are not usually found in dry climates.ĭust mite particles are often found in pillows, mattresses, carpeting and upholstered furniture. They die when the humidity falls below 50 percent. They prefer temperatures at or above 70 degrees Fahrenheit with humidity of 75 to 80 percent. Dust mites live and multiply easily in warm, humid places.
