Hidden Causes of Discomfort
When your immune system thinks there is a foreign invader in your body, it reacts by creating antibodies. An allergy happens when your body perceives a certain chemical as harmful even though it is not. Your defenses kick into action and cause a variety of unpleasant symptoms.
The allergen is the actual threat that invades your body. It is a protein that, when in contact with your blood, causes your body to produce chemicals like cytokine, histamine and leukotriene. These chemicals are the cause of the allergic reaction. They act on parts of our body, causing discomfort, swelling and difficulty breathing.
The two leading allergens are pollen and dust mites. House dust is arguably the most common allergy in the world. Dust mites live in house dust.
It’s not the dust mites themselves that cause the problem. They don’t bite us and they only eat our dead skin – it’s their waste that is harmful. The more dust mites live in your home, the more waste they leave that causes allergies, ill health and fatigue. Remember staying over at a friend’s house and not being able to sleep? Dust mites cause fatigue and can keep you up at night.
Serious problems will arise when people are exposed to excess dust mite waste. Asthma forms in children and develops in adults because of the allergens in mattresses, skin disorders arise and breathing can become wheezy and labored.
The best way to rid your home of these allergens is to have Mitee Clean remove them for you. Conventional cleaning methods simply won’t do the trick. Dust mite allergens make life unnecessarily difficult. Solve the problem at the root and the symptoms will disappear.
