Dust Mite

Indoor environments, particularly in bedding, upholstered furniture, and carpets where humidity is high.

Feeds primarily on shed human and animal skin scales, or dander.

Microscopic, non-biting arachnids that thrive in warm, humid indoor spaces and cannot survive in very dry conditions.

Major source of indoor allergens triggering asthma and allergic rhinitis; harmless ecologically without biting humans directly.
