House dust mite profile
-As small as 300 microns/0.3mm in size, so it is invisible to the naked eye.
-Live in ideal conditions of 25 degress Celcius and 75% relative humidity, which is similar to Singapore indoor conditions.
-Can be found in pillows, quilts, mattresses, carpets, upholstered furniture, clothes, stuffed toys, bed covers and other fabric covered items.
-Feeds on shed skin flakes, predigested by the fungus Aspergillus repens, and moisture from human breathing, sweat and saliva. When we sleep, the bed is warm and humid and is also an ideal environment for the fungus to turn the skin flakes on the bed into nutritious food for the dust mites.
-It is excrement of dust mites that causes allergic reactions, not the dust mite itself. It can cause adverse effects on people who are allergic to the protein contained in the excrement.
