Interesting facts about mites and allergies

The book covers virtually everything you need to know about mites, particularly dust mites, including their role as triggers of allergies such as bronchial asthma. It also discusses diagnosis methods such as skin prick tests and in vitro diagnosis, as well as treatment (specific immunotherapy; SIT) for dust mite allergies. Many chapters are supplemented with informative tables, illustrations, and beautiful drawings, some of which were created by Rolf Rettich, the illustrator of Pippi Longstocking. Everything is presented in a scientifically accurate manner, yet easy for everyone to understand. You will also learn how to protect yourself if you are allergic to house dust mites (encasings, mite-proof covers). In short, it is a comprehensive guide to mites, with a focus on the house dust mites found in house dust.
