Look at the life doctors found in house dust mites & droppings - a mini review 1978-2011. Click https://t.co/hyT6xIjCeL OK? @NatashasLegacy@HOPEforCOPD Don't sleep with filthy mites @UKAMREnvoy They eat and carry bacteria, enzymes, fungi, etc.
House dust mites can drown in a normal machine wash & allergens are washed away. Good news for saving energy - BUT the mite's eggs can survive. Hotter the water, more HDMs die - over 60° is best @EFA_Patients Ref Ann Aller. Asthma Immunol. 111,2013,465-507

House dust mite droppings recycle fungi. READ and see fungi growing out of the mite's 5 part dropping. https://t.co/CDMRRiYbt7 don't sleep with mites @EFA_Patients@lunguk@_allergylondon@EvelinaLondon
Quote: "House dust mites, living in a colony will pass bacteria and fungi through mite droppings or on mite bodies". Note: bacterial species will probably reflect local dust. @euforea@asthmalunguk@StaphLab Ref. J Econ.Entomology, 2016, (109) No4 1887-89
Without the activity of the major house dust mite enzyme/allergen Der p1 the accompanying allergens in a HDM dropping are stymied - Der p1 has been denatured in recent research. See https://t.co/KJnpj9n1eN…
