Do You Have House Dust Allergies?

Do you, or does anyone in your family, have the following allergy symptoms: a year-round runny nose, itchy or watery eyes or constant sneezing? This might not be a seasonal problem--you could have house dust allergies.

Don't panic...yet. Everyone has house dust. This isn't just dirt blown in from the outdoors. It gathers inside your home. It can contain fabric fibers, pet dander, mold particles, flakes of human skin or hair, and body parts from dead insects like dust mites (which can cause dust mite allergies), and tiny bits of other household substances that settle on surfaces in your home.

Nasty stuff, right? House dust can also make people with asthma react with more wheezing, coughing or shortness of breath. And, as you can probably guess, it can have the worst impact on children and seniors.

Even the cleanest home will be a bit dusty. You can't eliminate it completely. But it's pretty obvious that a dirty home doesn't help. Ever walk by a table top and drag your fingers across it? We've all done it. Or maybe, the television looks so dusty when the light hits the screen that you finally wipe it with a paper towel, which unfortunately just moves the dust around or sends it into the air to settle someplace else.

If dusting wasn't high on your priority list before reading this, is it now? We hope so. It's a quick, easy and important task. Of course, if you're concerned about house dust allergies you should consult with your doctor.
