Dust mite remedy that helped me!

Yes!!! After 15 years of dust mite war I found a remedy for myself, hope it will help you as well. I’m a male, 34yo, live in UK (wet climate) in flat with carpets. I know carpets are key point in my allergy, but unfortunately I can’t get rid of them as it’s a rental property. When I stay in properties with hard floors, I normally have no symptoms or much fewer allergy symptoms. Never used any steroid inhalers as I don’t trust them. However used Salbutamol, in worst periods up to 5-10 times a day which for sure isn’t good practice.

Things I tried with no or little success: various natural herbal remedies (tried about 10-15 different herbs in total), minerals and vitamins, powerful dust extractor with HEPA filter, expensive air purifiers with HEPA and charcoal filters, wet carpet cleaner with special anti-dustmite additives, special anti-dustmite spray for carpers and other upholstery, anti-dustmite laundry detergent, mattress and pillow covers, steam pressure cleaner for carpets mattresses and upholstery.

What helped me? Dehumidifier! I bought a powerful compressor dehumidifier for our 2 bedroom flat. I bought the one that is designed for 5 bedroom house, which you might think is an overkill. But it works! After 2 days of use I could fill results. Almost all symptoms disappeared! I was so happy with results that I bought another one and now keep 1 in each bedroom.
I read that dust mites can’t survive in low humidity conditions during prolonged periods of time (which is less than 40%). Now I’m trying to keep humidity level around 35% at all the times and since dehumidifier purchase I had no dust mite allergy symptoms. Dehumidifiers are extracting now about 1 litr of water a day each. Hope this helps you!

That sounds great!

will try..

I'm also allergic to dust mites and just learned about a new drug, called Odactra that's supposed to offer a cure after 3 years.
