Dust mites are tiny creatures that feed on flakes of skin. They live in materials such as carpets, sofas and mattresses, where there is a build-up of these flakes. Mite faeces are highly allergenic, and the majority of people are actually more allergic to faeces than to any other substance.
Mites need a certain level of humidity to reproduce; mite infestations occur at relative humidity levels in excess of 45%.
