  A dust mite allergy causes your immune system to react to proteins found in dust mites. […] A dust mite allergy is an allergic reaction to dust mites. […] Dust mites have proteins in their feces (poop) and dead bodies. […] However, your immune system views them as harmful invaders, like bacteria or viruses, and responds to get them out of your body. […] Youre more likely to develop a dust mite allergy if you have asthma, eczema, hay fever (allergic rhinitis) or a biological family history of atopy. […] Dust mite allergies are common. Approximately 20 million people in the United States have a dust mite allergy. […] If you have a dust mite allergy, the first time you encounter dust mite proteins, your body responds by creating immunoglobulin E (IgE). […] IgE is antibodies that your immune system makes to attack allergens, even though these allergens might not be harmful. […] You cant stop being allergic to dust mites or cure dust mite allergies. […] High levels of IgE antibodies indicate a dust mite allergy. […] A dust mite allergy can be frustrating.

  In dust mite allergies, the symptoms arent caused by the dust itself. Instead, the allergy is triggered by certain substances that are mainly found in the droppings of dust mites. The tiny dropping particles stick to dust and spread in that way. […] Allergy symptoms develop when your body overreacts to particular substances that are usually harmless. These substances (allergens) trigger a chain reaction in the immune system. First, the body makes antibodies to fight the allergen, and the antibodies bind to specific cells. If these cells come into contact with the allergen again, they are then able to respond by releasing chemical substances such as histamine. These substances then set off an allergic reaction, causing symptoms such as sneezing or itchy eyes. […] Sometimes a higher risk of allergies runs in families. Environmental factors such as air pollution and cigarette smoke can make allergies more likely too.

  Dust mite allergy is an allergic condition that occurs as a reaction to the dust mite allergens that commonly live in household dust. […] It is sensitization and an allergic reaction to the droppings of the dust mites. […] The dust mite’s gut contains peptidase 1, which is one of the potent digestive enzymes that persist in their fecal matter and is the major inducer of the allergy. […] The variants of the allergen include Der p 1 of the European house dust mite, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, Der f 1 of the American house dust mite Dermatophagoides farinae, Eur m 1 of the Mayne’s house dust mite Euroglyphus maynei. […] These allergens are found in the fecal matter of the mites. […] The mite’s exoskeleton can also contribute to allergic reactions. […] These allergens on inhalation cause a sensitization reaction, through epithelial leakage into the respiratory system by cleavage of the tight junctions in between the epithelial cells.

• #7 House dust mite

  https://dermnetnz.org/topics/house-dust-mite

  House dust mites produce aeroallergens that can cause hypersensitivity particularly in atopic individuals those with atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, and allergic asthma. […] House dust mite allergens may be inhaled, ingested, or contacted directly to the skin or eye. […] There are many potential allergens related to house dust mites, the most sensitising of which are Der p1/Der f1 (cysteine proteases) and Der p2/Der f2 (lipid-binding auto-adjuvants). […] Der p11 (paramyosin homologue) is a major allergen in atopic dermatitis. […] Dust mite particles contain proteases (proteolytic enzymes) and pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPS). […] In atopic dermatitis, proteases: Activate PAR-2 (protease-activated-receptor-2) in epidermal keratinocytes and dermal nerves leading to non-histamine-mediated itch and delayed skin barrier healing, Promote cytokine-mediated inflammation, Disrupt the skin barrier function allowing interaction with local immune cells to initiate types I (immediate) and IV (delayed) hypersensitivity reactions.

• #8 The Prevention of House Dust Mite Allergies in Pediatric Asthma

  https://www.mdpi.com/2227-9067/11/4/469

  This suggests that mite avoidance appears to be a valuable approach for managing and potentially preventing asthma in children sensitized to HDMs. Several methods for reducing mite allergen exposure have been investigated. By reviewing existing studies on this topic, this review aims to provide healthcare professionals with the most up-to-date information on preventing HDM allergies in children with asthma. […] Der p 1 and Der p 2 are the primary allergens of Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus because they are recognized by most subjects sensitized to the mite. Der p 1 is a heat-labile glycoprotein present mainly in the mite’s fecal material, which is the main way in which mite allergens are dispersed in the home environment, and Der p 2, analogous to MD-2, LPS-binding component MD-2 of the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) complex. Recently, the Valenta group identified another major allergen: Der p 23, a peritrophic matrix protein that surrounds the mite’s feces. This molecule is recognized by 74% of patients allergic to Der p 1 and Der p 2 and plays an important role both in the diagnosis of and in allergen immunotherapy (AIT) for patients allergic to mites. HDM allergens are potent triggers of allergic sensitization and subsequent atopic respiratory diseases. These allergens are not limited to fecal particles but are also present in the mite’s gut, exoskeleton, and eggs. Upon inhalation or contact with mucosal surfaces, including the epithelia of the upper and lower respiratory system, eyes, skin, and intestine, HDM allergens can induce sensitization. This can lead to the development of allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis, sinusitis, and bronchial asthma. Furthermore, mite proteases contribute directly to the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis by causing epithelial damage through the disruption of tight junctions and the subsequent release of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

  https://asthmaandallergies.org/asthma-allergies/dust-mite-allergy/

  Dust mites and their waste products are one of the most common causes of year-round allergy and asthma. […] The waste products of dust mites not the mites themselves are what cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. […] Throughout its short life span, a single dust mite may produce as much as 200 times its body weight in waste products. Dust mite waste contains a protein that is an allergen. An allergen is a substance that provokes an allergic reaction. […] Most dust mites die when exposed to low humidity levels or extreme temperatures. But they leave behind their waste products, which can continue to cause allergic reactions. […] In a warm, humid house, dust mites can easily survive year round. […] Having dust mites doesnt mean that your house isnt clean. But it is true that keeping your home as free of dust as possible can lessen exposure to dust mite waste and reduce the potential for an allergic response for sensitive individuals. […] If youve done as much as you can to reduce dust mites in your home and you still are having allergic reactions to house dust mites, you may benefit from getting allergy shots. A dust mite extract can be formulated to help manage your immune systems response specifically to dust mite allergens.

  Dust mites, also known as house dust mites (HDMs), are a major source of environmental inhalant allergens, especially in temperate climates. In sensitized and genetically predisposed individuals, inhalation of these allergens can cause the onset or worsening of allergic diseases such as rhinitis and bronchial asthma. The most relevant allergens in house dust are the fecal pellets of the Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Der p) species, primarily Der p 1, Der p 2, Der p 23, and Dermatophagoides farinae (Der f 1 and Der f 2). In temperate countries, over half of allergic individuals are sensitized to HDMs, and up to 85% of children with bronchial asthma are sensitized to these main Dermatophagoides species. […] Studies have shown a link between HDM allergen levels in homes and asthma symptoms in children and adults sensitized to HDMs. High exposure to these allergens at home can worsen asthma in HDM-sensitized patients, causing bronchospasms and increased bronchial hyperreactivity. Conversely, reducing exposure can improve symptoms. While the evidence is not conclusive, some studies also suggest that reducing exposure in early life might decrease the risk of developing asthma in high-risk infants.
