Got Allergies? Find out if these common allergens are in your home

Dust Mites:

Dust mites live in carpets and on upholstery and they eat dead skin shed by people and animals alike. In order to digest the tough skin cells, the mites have a strong digestive enzyme in their gut. This enzyme passes with their feces and is what causes unpleasant symptoms, like wheezing, in allergy and asthma sufferers.

Pollen:

The flowers and trees are starting to bloom, and pollen is everywhere. When you open your windows to welcome the warm spring air, you’re also allowing pollen to settle into your carpets and upholstery. Pollen can also be tracked in on your clothes, shoes and pets.

Pet Dander:

Allergies from your pets don't come from their hair, it comes from a protein in the skin, urine and feces. Technically, there are no hypoallergenic pets but there are a few breeds with less of the protein in their bodies, making them less likely to trigger an allergy attack. People have reported to have worse allergies around cats, instead of dogs.
