House Dust Mite

Found in domestic environments, particularly in bedding, carpets, and upholstery where humidity is high.

Feed on organic detritus, primarily dander (skin scales) shed from humans and animals.

They thrive in warm, humid conditions (70-80% relative humidity) and are globally distributed in human dwellings.

Major source of allergens; their waste products and carcasses can trigger asthma, eczema, and allergic rhinitis in sensitive individuals.
