Understanding Dust Allergy and Its Impact
Dust allergy is one of India's most common respiratory issues, especially during dry weather and post-monsoon seasons. It occurs when the immune system reacts to tiny particles in household dust, such as dust mites, pollen, mould spores, or pet dander.
As per the study, nearly 30% of urban Indians suffer from dust-related respiratory allergies, with children and the elderly being most vulnerable. It often goes unnoticed until symptoms significantly impact one’s quality of life. Understanding the source and being proactive with treatment is key
Symptoms of Dust Allergy You Should Not Ignore
Dust allergy symptoms often feel like a cold and get worse after cleaning or in the morning.
- Sneezing fits, especially in the morning
- Runny or blocked nose
- Itchy or watery eyes
- Dry coughing or wheezing
- Postnasal drip
- Fatigue due to disturbed sleep
These symptoms, if left unmanaged, may lead to complications such as sinus infections or asthma-like conditions.
Common Causes and Risk Factors
Dust allergy is primarily triggered by:
- Dust mites (microscopic insects in bedding and upholstery)
- Pollens, mold, and indoor pollutants
- Poor indoor ventilation
- Air conditioning filters have not been cleaned
- Family history of allergies or asthma
- Low immunity and respiratory sensitivity
Certain environments, like urban cities with high air pollution or homes with carpeting and closed ventilation, can heighten allergy risk.

Sun-dry your bedding regularly, direct sunlight can naturally eliminate dust mites and reduce allergens
