You may be still inhaling: It. Dust mites/ dust particles can stay on skin, eyelashes, and hair, and if you do wash everything off of you, then it would get on your linens, and you will have slept with all that dust mites around you. This can lead to what feels like a cold, when in reality, it is an allergy to dust mites inhaled during rest/sleep!
