@496sbc No, and I don't want to! 😆 For some reason I do have an image burned in my brain, I think it is a dust mite under a microscope so I know they are monsters.
Ok... every item of bedding and nightwear I own washed on high temperature. Extensive dusting, beating and hoovering of surfaces, sofa, mattress, floor. Put a spider plant in my room. Ran a dehumidifer for 12 hours. Your move, dust mites 🤣
Oh, and getting some lavender/clove/eucalyptus oil to spray around like a priest at an exorcism.
Essential oils contain compounds that repel or kill insects, including dust mites. The best essential oils for getting rid of dust mites are clove, rosemary, and eucalyptus oil. Add 20 drops of oil to four ounces of witch hazel, and spray your mattress, couch, drapes, and other dust mite hangouts.
You can try any of the below two simple things..i guess it is happening once in every two hours or so and continues. Whenever you feel like having this type of "allergy" drink something hot like coffee, tea or even hot water. The other method is raising your voice a bit higher..like singing or laughing..this should solve your issue..I'm having this issue for quite a long time and I'm doing this.im an indian and ethnically I prefer home treatments like this..
@Fatalice That would be impractical because of expense and honestly, kind of a lifestyle change in the home. Plus the dust mites would still have a place to live on the bed.
Someone mentioned UV, that would likely be a more practical approach.
Before you burn the house down, first do an allergy test and confirm if it really is dust mites that is causing the problem.
Start trying anti histamine tablets for a month. Allegra has become a common drug around the world treating allergies as many suffer from various types of allergies.
Don't turn yourself into a clean freak as it may lead you to OCD condition.
Highly recommend a UV cleaning lamp. I saw someone mentioned a UV vacuum, but they now sell cleansing lamps like the hospitals use to kill dust mites and other critters. I own one that I purchased off of Facebook and it has done wonders!
I don't know if there is anything you can do; they are ubiquitous. Like Fatalice, have less porous material that may be hard to clean. I've heard of that those steam machines can kill them, I'm not sure though.
