[quote=Anonymous]It's probably dust mites, which can be so much worse this time of year. There's no way to completely rid your house of dust mites (which are microscopic) but you can help by using a vacuum with a HEPA filter and vacuuming daily, especially in the person's bedroom. Don't forget under and around the bed where dust collects. Also, use allergen covers on the person's pillow(s) and mattress. Both should have zippers to completely enclose the pillow and mattress. And finally, use an over the counter antihistamine daily. Benadryl is the strongest but usually leaves people dead to the world. I have found Zyrtec to be pretty effective without causing excessive drowsiness. [/quote]
