Environmental control of dust mite allergens.
House dust mites are a major cause of allergic airway disease. Ninety percent of patients with asthma show dermal reactivity to house dust mite allergens. Control of these arachnids in the home environment can reduce the morbidity from atopic diseases and may moderate or even prevent the development of clinical disease in atopic individuals.
