There is a website called Springerlink journal and there is an article about a 47 year old farmer who died from severe anaphylactic shock from an allergy to house dust mites. Try Protect A Bed mattress and pillow protectors or Allerzip by Protect A Bed. Yes I do work for the company but I know how I feel at home(great) and I know how I feel when at a hotel (the dust mites stuff me up)

Would like to have authorative support for my opinion that dust mites can cause illnesses such as chronic cough, asthma, stuffiness, raspy voice, dry mouth, etc. My partner and I suffer from the aforementioned including periodic skin rashes, roseola, etc. I vacuum my home regularly. Several members of our family have asthma, one or two died during an asthma attack.
Still my husband considers my opinion on this to be invalid. Do you know how I could offer authorative proof that this may very well be the cause of our chronic illnesses? Is their a test to see if the dust mites are present and in what volume? Our symptoms are much worse at night.
