Severe Dust Mite Allergy

Not a farmer but have the same problem. Id imagine as with me not just the farm causing your problems. I used to get regular sinus infections until I sorted it out. My top tip is to focus on your bed. Go to dunnes and buy anti allergy pillows. cover your mattress with an anti allergy cover.Wash your sheets more regularly and never cover the sheets with the quilt during the day. Air your bedroom regularly. This will ensure the mites wont do well in your bedroom. Buy a hoover with a hepa filter in it. Remove all carpets in your house.Medicine wise Id go doctor and see what they can do for you. I took a steroid spray for quite a long time as my nasal passages had swelled so much from exposure to the dust mite excrement which is what the allergy is actually about. Steroid spray do work as long as you use the spray properly. There is a technique to it that you need to master. ie the medicine shouldnt run down your throat after using the spray. Cant give medical advice really as dont know your situation and I'm not a doctor so I'll leave it at that that.I also went to an ent specialist and an allergy doctor. Once had sorted out the bed didnt need the steroid anymore. Allergy doctor did a test that showed all my allergies. Dust mite one was easily the worst. Until then thought might just be the bad air quality in city. If you sort out the house you'll have more of a window to deal with whatever exposure on the farm rather than being constantly exposed to the blighters.

Too long with cattle and I’m sneezing for the day, red itchy eyes and I end up exhausted. I take an antihistamine any day I’m going to the mart or any day I’m doing a lot of cattle work (dosing etc.). No bother on me then.

think if you are bad you can get an injection that’ll last a few months.
