| Hello, I would like to know something about dust mites, because they are threatening my son’s health. He is 14 years old and has just been diagnosed with dust mite allergy. How can I help him? Can UV light really kill dust mites to help alleviate allergies? What should I do? |

| Well, I am not that certain about the UV light, but I do know several tricks tha might help. You should not have much furniture in the house and also you should do the major cleaning and washing every week (rags should be washed too). Basically, you should do anything to keep your son away from the dust mites, but at one point, you will probably have to get him some medicaments. |

| Get a dustmite spray: Dust Mite and Flea Control as well as may be the UV Wand. The UV kills the DNA in dustmites, but keep in mind you can never kill all dustmites. I suggest that you have people take their shoes off at the front door and don't have any animals. I became allergic to dustmite in my 40s and it has been a pain for me, but I have learned how to control it. I also iron/steam my bed with sheets on them, wash sheets twice a week, don't get on bed with clothes I wore outside. Good luck! |

| Hey I'm not sure about the UV lights but as for the dust mite spray I'm sure that works but why would you ever want to spray chemicals onto the stuff that surrounds you, its probably more dangerous to your health then the mites, by-the-way its not the mites themselves your allergic to its their fecal matter. |
