Dust allergies are common, leading to skin reactions in most cases.  For example, you have get hives or eczema.<\/p>\n

It can also trigger an asthmatic attack if you have asthma<\/a>.  This does not mean that dust causes asthma, only that it triggers a reaction for asthmatic patients.<\/p>\n

There are other, more subtle symptoms of dust<\/a> exposure.  They are allergic reactions, but not with the classic reactions.  A general lack of energy and focus might be attributed to a dust allergy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In my case, the symptoms are very hard to describe.  I\u2019ve certainly noticed that if I don\u2019t do any dusting for a while, I start to feel worse and worse (although it takes some time to make the connection to dust).  <\/p>\n

After vacuuming, I feel worse (because the dust gets stirred up), but the next day I feel much better, and wonder why I don\u2019t do the dusting once a week instead of once every month or three.<\/p>\n

This is a cycle that I go through, and you may find it familiar.  As the dust gets worse, I feel worse, and have less motivation.  Small tasks seem a bit harder to do.  Small tasks like dusting for example.  The longer I wait, the less likely I am to dust, causing a big problem.<\/p>\n

Dust Allergy Control<\/b><\/h2>\n

One way to control dust allergies is to control the dust, as explained above.<\/p>\n

Another way is to deal with the body\u2019s allergic reaction to dust.<\/p>\n

One way of doing this is desensitization, where you are injected with a diluted house dust extract.  The strength of the extract is increased over time.  This reduces the body\u2019s allergic reaction to dust.<\/p>\n
