    I suffered with dust mite allergies all through childhood. I was "that kid" that seemed to always sniffle at school, and doctors never helped besides giving me pills with side effects. It was not until I heard of dust mites as an adult that I tried out a simple allergen mattress cover. 90% of my problems with mites are gone.

    • @annoloki

      Sometimes, when it's the poop, it can be the enzymes in it, as they can appear similar to enzymes used by parasites (can think, enzymes that break down dead skin for protein could be similar to enzymes used by parasites to break down the body's defences, to attach to the inside of the gut etc, so it makes sense that the body should react to these and try expel them) and sometimes it can be what's next in the food chain - when a mould colonises the poop and uses it as its own food source. When the moisture runs out, spores can be put into packages that become very tight, exploding when coming into contact with moisture, ejecting the spores, as the process of getting through a dry season... or, of course, from our body's moisture, should we end up breathing in these packages... plus many many more!

    Thank-you very much for this information! I'm hoping when I show this vid to my bff he will acknowledge that dust mites might be the issue of his runny, burning eyes and the tickle he gets in his throat. 😆✌😎🤘

    So, is our relationship with the mites in our hair parasitic or mutualistic? Or both?

      As far as I know they are simply
      taking care of leftovers.
      A lot of dust comes from our dead
      skin cells.
      The mites in my pillow take care of
      the sweat.
      They are thirsty when I'm on
      vacation.
      Living with mites (everybody
      does) can be peaceful
      and affectionate . ♡

    Just to be pedantic: "micrometers" is pronounced with a stress on "micro", as in MICroMETers. This is how to pronounce the unit of measurement. To put the stress on the second syllable, as in miCROMeters pronounces the device making the measurement.

      I love it , too . . .
      With no allergies I live
      together with approx 400 000
      mites. I washed my pillows a couple
      of days ago and feel like a mass murderer ...

    I still believe that most of the people who are freaking out because of small critters and poop forget that they probably shook many hands that were used to scratch nasty places just minutes before... this info might help or disturb you even further.
    Ignorance really is bliss... if you think about stuff like this too hard, you'l get paranoid and probably just make life harder.
