Dust Mite Video

Some years ago I filmed the dust mites from my mattress using a video-microscope.  I have used the video frequently for teaching and talks. A 40-second grab is now available for you to see. The mite is seeing crawling around and over mattress debris, and the clumps of black are collections of mite faecal matter which are rich in the allergen. So download, and enjoy, and don't forget to turn up the volume!!!

Allergend is an Australian company that produces excellent dust mite encasings for your pillows, doona and mattress. I have visited their workshop, examined the materials, and checked the specifications. In my opinion the final product is the best of its type available.

Because Allergend provides an educational grant to AllergyNet Australia, if you mention AllergyNet Australia when you order you will receive a 10% discount on the total cost.
