Do you still have allergy symptoms during the winter months? If you are sneezing, congested, or dealing with a stuffy nose even when it is not pollen season, dust mites may be the reason.
Dust mites live in bedding, upholstery, and carpets throughout the entire year. They are one of the most common causes of persistent indoor allergies. Many patients assume their symptoms will disappear once pollen levels drop, but indoor allergens can continue to trigger inflammation every day.
Simple home habits, such as washing bedding in hot water, reducing indoor humidity, and using protective covers, can help reduce exposure. For long term control, allergy shots can retrain your immune system so you react less over time.
If you want to find out whether dust mites are causing your winter allergy symptoms, testing is the first step. Early evaluation means better relief and a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Schedule an appointment with me or your local board certified allergist to learn whether dust mites are triggering your symptoms and to explore effective long term treatment options.
