WAR ON MITES!!!!



Since almost a month ago, we have declared war on dust mites! Vacuum, mop, wash, and vacuum, mop and wash....

So far so good. we probably killed millions of them....BUT they are more millions of them. T_T....

some info on them from wikipedia:

The house dust mite (sometimes referred to by allergists as HDM), is a cosmopolitan guest in human habitation. Dust mites feed on organic detritus such as flakes of shed human skin and flourish in the stable environment of dwellings. House dust mites are a common cause of asthma and allergic symptoms worldwide. Some of the gut enzymes (notably proteases) produced by the house mite persist in their fecal matter, and can be strongly allergenic.
