Health Tips
* Dust mites, which are most often to blame for a flare of allergy symptoms. These tiny creatures thrive in warm, moist environments.
* Cockroaches, which shed tiny particles that contribute to house dust.
* Molds, which can grow throughout your home, especially in moist, warm areas.
* Pollen, which may be spread by trees, weeds and other plants.
* Pet allergens, which may include dander, saliva and urine.
