Mould is another source of allergens as it releases spores—irritants and toxic substances—into the air, which, when inhaled, can cause upper respiratory allergies. Mould allergies commonly cause symptoms like a runny nose, coughing, itchy and scaly skin and irritations.
Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to reduce the risk of developing allergic reactions to mould and dust mites. The number one thing to do, here, is to increase the ventilation in your home. This will help you make sure your air is circulating and is irritant-free.
Heat-treating your blankets and pillows is another sure way to kill dust mites as they can’t survive in very high temperatures. I suggest putting your pillows and blankets in the dryer from time to time if this is a concern.
