Indoor dust should not be confused with the dry powdery soil of outside dust. Indoor dust is a microscopic mix of highly allergic triggers such as dead skin cells, sneezed viruses, pet dander, soil, clothing fiber, carpet fragments, mold, bacteria, and insect parts. Allergic symptoms from this type of dust include chronic headaches, congestion, fatigue, sinus infection, sore throat, and asthma. More importantly, a microscopic insect, the DUST MITE, breeds and prospers in this type of dust. They live in dust, carpeting, donated chairs & sofas, and other "soft" surfaces… and NOT on human beings. As dust is unsettled, it is combined with the dust mite’s bodily functions, therefore, becoming air-borne. Fecal droppings from dust mites are highly allergenic, especially for younger children with respiratory problems. Each mite leaves behind about 20 fecal pellets each day. Most infestations involve thousands of dust mites. There are "new" affordable vacuums that serve as air purification systems, which actually remove 100 percent of dust mites and 99.8 percent of dust and air particulates from the air for up to six (6) days.
