Dust mites are the main culprits behind dust allergy. Listed below are a few other causes:
- Pollen – Pollen is a fine powdery substance that consists of pollen grains. It is a natural part of trees, flowers, and grasses. Different people may be allergic to different types of pollen.
- Cockroaches – Cockroach droppings can cause dust allergy in some individuals when inhaled (1). These tiny particles often combine with household dust to cause allergy.
- Mold – Mold is a kind of fungus that has spores that are capable of floating in the air. These spores can also cause dust allergy (1).
- Yeast – Yeast is a cousin of mold, and you can have an overgrowth of yeast called Candida albicans in your intestines due to the overuse of antibiotic medication. Yeast can also colonize your nasal mucous membranes and sinuses, making them irritated and susceptible to dust allergies (1).
- Animal Hair, Fur, And Feathers – Pets are another cause of dust allergy (2). Their skin flakes (called dander), urine, or saliva are potential allergens, especially when combined with dust.
