Comments on: Will moving to another climate help me? http://climates.allergynursing.com/2006/06/29/another-climate/ Would your allergies be better in a different climate? Read others' experiences and share your own.

Thanks for pointing this out. An item from Johns Hopkins says "these mites are everywhere humans live...." But the itme continues, "about the only areas where they don't flourish are where it's very dry or the altitude is more than 3,000 feet above sea level."

An item from Johns Hopkins says “these mites are everywhere humans live….” But the itme continues, “about the only areas where they don’t flourish are where it’s very dry or the altitude is more than 3,000 feet above sea level.”

Dust Mite Allergies

]]> By: concerned mom http://climates.allergynursing.com/2006/06/29/another-climate/comment-page-1/#comment-4189 concerned mom Wed, 20 Dec 2006 16:49:28 +0000 http://climates.allergynursing.com/2006/06/29/another-climate/#comment-4189 I have read that another climate 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 climate.
