A member asked:
Can my house cleaner bring in dust mites from her vacuum?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Theoretically yes. If she is not emptying the receptacle or changing the bag between jobs, then yes. Also, if she knows she serviced a place with dust mites, she should disinfect her equipment.
