Frequently asked questions

An allergy is caused by a defect in the immune system. Allergic reactions are triggered by the presence of certain substances in the environment. You are not born with an allergy. You develop it through over-sensitivity to these substances. Common allergies include dust mite allergy, hay fever, food allergies and reactions to the poison of stinging insects such as bees and wasps.

Mild allergies such as hay fever are very common. Although troublesome, they are relatively harmless. Some severe cases of combined allergic reactions (through environmental factors, food and/or medication) can be life threatening.

There are tests which can detect allergies. The substances to which a person is allergic can be determined using skin and blood tests. This makes treatment more effective.

If you are allergic to dust mites, you will probably display the same symptoms as in hay fever (allergic rhinitis). The symptoms of dust mite allergy may include:

• sneezing
• runny or blocked nose
• irritated, watering eyes
• eczema
• puffy, bluish skin under the eyes
• catarrh
• cough

A dust mite allergy may vary from mild to severe. In the mild form, you may have a runny nose, watering eyes and sneezing from time to time. In the severe form, the condition is chronic. The symptoms may include wheezing, sneezing fits or a blocked nose.

You can't. But you can reduce their presence. That will also increase the impact of the treatment. To treat an allergy you must remove the causes as much as possible, as well as taking medication. In the case of dust mites, that means driving down the number of dust mites in the patient's environment as much as possible.

The ideal bedroom would be

• south-facing,
• aired daily (at least 15 min. per day)
• unheated, even in the winter
• equipped with a minimum of soft furnishings and dust-retaining materials
• very clean
• free of domestic animals

What more can you do?

• Keep the whole house clean.
• Wash sheets and pillow cases weekly. Dust mites are killed at 55°C
• Keep humidity below 50%. Air conditioning helps.
• Use a good quality air filter. Cheap air filters do not help. They can themselves be incubators for microbes.

Prevention is the best way of avoiding an allergic reaction to dust mites. Expose yourself to dust mite as little as possible and use Paradust.
The bed purifier for a safe and natural treatment of the bed; the room sanitizer for intermittent treatment of the whole room.

Dust mites travel around easily. They can cling to any kind of material without difficulty. You can bring them into the house on coats, fleeces, feathers or anything on which they can hide. They make their way into the bedroom on socks, soft toys and pyjamas.

Dust mites shun the light. So they dig themselves in. In addition, they cling on with powerful hooks on their feet. Nevertheless, vacuuming is helpful: it removes much of the material on which the dust mite feed, and also their droppings.

It is best to ring the hotel before you travel. Ask if they have any low-allergy rooms. Also ask whether the beds are protected against dust mite contamination. For longer holidays, take Paradust bed purifier with you.

How to use Paradust bed purifier

Paradust bed purifier is a unique formula based on probiotics. These ‘good bacteria’ have a beneficial effect on people and animals. Similar probiotics have already been used for centuries in foods (e.g. yoghurt) to keep the bacteria in the intestinal tract in balance. The probiotics in Paradust bed purifier feed on dust mite waste, thus removing the allergens.

After a number of days the bacteria die off. That's why the treatment has to be repeated every three days to remain effective.

Dust mites are a fresh source of contamination every day. It is impossible to remove them completely. This is particularly true from the bed.

Yes, of course. But it is unnecessary. You will get the same effect by repeating the treatment every three days.

Insecticides kill dust mites, but they have no impact on their droppings. They are the real cause of the allergy.

Paradust bed purifier has no side effects. It can safely be used around children and domestic animals at any time of day.

Paradust room sanitizer can only be bought at a pharmacy.

Paradust room sanitizer is specially recommended for use in rooms which provide an inviting environment for dust mites. Rooms with fitted carpet, little direct sunlight, with a tendency to humidity or with upholstered furniture are particularly at risk. Paradust room sanitizer must only be used once every 3 months, for example, at the beginning of each season.
