Acarina: but which is these small animals allergens?

The allergy to the acarina is most widespread. To the least contact, the allergic subjects generally present an asthma attack or a rhinitis. But which is these funny animals? How do they develop? Which are the other allergic reactions caused by the acarina?

The allergy to the acarina is very frequent

They belong to the big family of the arthropods. The domestic acarina or acarina pyroglyphides are responsible for immediate allergic demonstrations at the predisposed people. And the people allergic to these small animals are particularly numerous. The only solution, to avoid their contact completely.
One usually speaks about allergy to the acarina, but it should be known that the allergens are primarily contained in their dejections.

Acarina: largely widespread allergens

The acarina are largely present in dust of house. Their development depends on the temperature and the ambient water content. Thus, they proliferate more at a temperature of 25°C and when the water content lies between 60 and 80%. The bathroom thus forms part of the places typically favorable to the development of the acarina.
But the mattresses, the covers, the feather beds and the pillows are also places favourable with their development. More especially as the acarina nourish squames of our skin which we permanently lose because of the perpetual renewal of our cutaneous cells.
In addition to the bed linen, they invest readily the settees, the carpets and fitteds carpet, the cuddly toys, etc
It should be noted that they disappear in altitude. Starting from 1.500 m, they do not develop any more.

When the allergy appears

Air allergy: when the acarina penetrate the air routes, they cause a rhinitis or an asthma attack. These two demonstrations are sometimes associated with a conjunctivitis.
Cutaneous allergy: the contact of the acarina with the skin causes pushes of eczema.
Food allergy: less frequent and more recently described, it results from the food ingestion contaminated by acarina. The contamination generally comes from a bad conservation from food and ingredients. The manifestations of the allergy are characterized by asthma attacks, being able to carry out to a shock anaphylactic, and by oedemas of Quincke (subcutaneous oedemas, appearing under the skin).

Attention with the cross allergies

The allergic ones often react to several types of allergens. They is what is called the cross allergies. Concerning the allergic ones to the acarina, they can also present food allergies to snails and shrimps.
