Mites are usually associated with allergies because the body parts from dead mites are so small they become airborne and get inhaled. The mites also produce powerful enzymes that are strong enough to break down delicate cells. They are known to cause hay fever, asthma, sinusitis, eczema, skin rashes, wheezing, sneezing, itching, watery eyes, allergic and migraine headaches, urticarial dermatitis, and certain gut disorders.
Because house dust mites are so tiny — about 0.3 mm — they are not visible to the naked eye. They may be visible through a magnifying glass.
