- An infectious disease specialist has revealed the danger of dust mites in pillows and furniture


Sergey Ryabov, deputy chief physician of Dubna Hospital, an infectious disease specialist, spoke about the danger of household dust mites.
In an interview with Radio 1 on March 13, the expert noted that such ticks are called dermatophagoid.
"They parasitize and eat our epidermis. This is such a symbiosis of man and animal, it is not dangerous for us, except for one thing — allergic attacks," Ryabov explained.
According to him, in the absence of regular sanitary cleaning, such mites can cause allergies and even provoke attacks of bronchial asthma or allergic bronchitis.
To avoid such consequences, it is better to carry out sanitary cleaning with a weak sodium solution. The doctor added that it is important to observe hygiene measures, reports 360.ru .
Earlier on March 13, doctor Vera Serezhina told Izvestia about ways to deal with spring allergies. According to her, the main provocateurs of exacerbations are plant pollen and cross—allergens - nuts, spices, honey, herbs and stone fruits like apples. Contact with the allergen should be avoided whenever possible. In addition, you should not go outside in the morning and afternoon, when the concentration of pollen in the air is highest — usually from 04:00-05:00 to 12:00. In the evening, the allergen content in the air is significantly reduced.
In February, pediatrician Ulyana Gureeva warned that sterility interferes with the formation of healthy immunity in children. According to the expert, according to the so-called hygiene hypothesis, immunity is not sufficiently trained without constant stimulation, which increases the risk of allergies, asthma and autoimmune diseases, RT notes.
