I have read that another clamite may be beneficial for dust mite allergies. Since dust mites cannot breed or live in less than 50% relative humidity or higher than 3500 ft. above sea level, a dry, mountain region may be a healthy option. my son is severaly allergic (to only dust mites) and asthmatic. he spent a week in Northern Utah and for the first time (in spite of all the meds he takes) could breathe. So, I’m not sure that dust mites are everywhere, if you consider some of the information about their optimal breeding clamite.
