Will It Make Me Tired, Lethargic If Washed All Mattresses, Pillows While Having A Mite Infection?
Hi I have been to my dr as I had a rash on my elbow and inside arms - he gave me a blood test and was diagnosed with a mite infection. I have washed all bedding and sprayed mattress and pillows with eucalyptus spray and have washed all bedding with a dust mite wash. With my bites I was wondering would this make me tired and lethargic?

Hi,
No, not at all..mites are not responsible for lethargy and tiredness. You consult physician for some other cause. Housedust mite is allergen causing atopic dermatitis, which you have. The mites might cause allergic rhinitis and asthma. Take all precautions to remove the housedust mites from your home. For atopic dermatitis, you consult dermatologist for proper treatment. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
