A member asked:
I got allergy tested for dust mites is that same thing as house dust or regular dust?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Composition: House dust has the carcuses of dead dust mites as a significant component. There is other unrelated particulate but the mites provide the protein source that people are allergic to. You don't get allergic to dirt particles.
