Indoor Triggers
Americans spend up to 90% of their lives indoors. As a result, indoor allergens can play a major role in aggravating asthma. Identifying indoor allergens that cause this respiratory condition may lead to significant changes either by encouraging you to avoid the causes or by developing a plan to cope with them (with the aid of your healthcare provider).
The indoor trigger of asthma that may affect your respiratory tract include:
Dust mites: Dust mites are small arthropods that can not be seen with the naked eye. They feed on tiny skin flakes found on bedding items (mattresses, pillows, bed covers), carpets, stuffed toys, and upholstered furniture (or anything made of fabric). Dust mites may cause or contribute to asthma symptoms in people without a previous history of asthma.
