A member asked:
Could an asthma attack get worse after a day of exposure to dust mites?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Possibly....: If an asthmatic has a dust allergy, then a day of exposure to dust mites could lead to an asthma exacerbation. And, if an asthma exacerbation is already underway, then exposure to dust mites in a sensitive asthmatic could certainly worsen the exacerbation.
