Published in Daily Trivia
More than 45 percent of the homes in the United States have dust mites residing in them in significant numbers. The microscopic creatures burrow themselves by the thousands into plush furniture and carpeting to consume flakes from human skin and animal dander. Though mites are harmless, many people are allergic to their waste. When a person walks across the carpet, or settles onto the couch or into bed, their waste particles are stirred up. They are sent airborne, triggering sneezing and worse in some people.
