Accepted Answer

Canine mites: Studies reveal that the answer to this question is “yes” — but transmission of ear mites from canines to humans is very rare. Most often, the mites are passed from pet to pet. People who are in close contact with infected animals may acquire ear mites, but in these cases, the mites will most likely get on your arm and start biting rather than travel into your ear. .

Question 9

i use headphones that cover the ear completely and was wondering if they can get dust mite problems as i have a allergy to dust mitesthanks?

Accepted Answer

No: The ear canals are not the site dust mite favors.   Their favorite dwelling place is your bed (mattress, pillow, box spring, and even comforter).   I hope you have mite-proof encasings on the above items but don't expect miracles even if you have the covers on these items.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Call your PCP: your symptoms are not typical especially if this is the first time you have had them. It is also possible that the painkiller isn't effective for your symptoms. I don't think you need to worry about dying; I do think you should call your PCP ASAP and see what she or he recommends.
