Question

The immune system of an individual who is allergic to dust mite waste produces

Answer 1

Dust mites do not carry diseases and are harmless to most
people. It’s their bathroom habits that make some of us itch and
sneeze. Many people develop severe allergies to dust mite feces
(wastes). If you lie on a rug where dust mites live, you might
develop itchy red bumps on your skin. Breathe in dust containing their feces and you might
have more serious symptoms, such as difficulty breathing or a severe asthma attack.
Dust mites thrive in warm, humid environments — eating and nesting in dust-collecting
bedding, fabric, and carpet. Think about this! A typical mattress can contain anywhere from
100,000 to 10 million dust mites. Nearly 100,000 dust mites can live in one square yard of
carpet.
During a process called sensitization, a person’s immune system mistakenly identifies
the inhaled dust mite waste as an invader. The next time the person is exposed to the dust
mite waste, the immune system launches an allergic reaction.
