Dust mite

Minimise any flare ups by knowing what your triggers are and avoiding those triggers.

  • The most common trigger for nocturnal asthma is the dust mite. No matter how hard you try you will not be able to make your bed or room completely dust mite free but you can try to reduce level of exposure by using a vacuum cleaner on your bed mattress.
  • Damp dust hard surfaces regularly.
  • Keep pets out of bedrooms.
