Dustmite

Barely visible to the naked eye, these ubiquitous creatures are blamed for many of the problems associated with numerous common allergies. The house dust mite feeds on detritus which around the house largely comprises of shed human skin cells. Since the shedding of these cells is a constant process, not least when in bed, these mites are happy to co-habit for an easily won meal. Their own cast off skins and faecal debris add to the general debris around the house.
