Understanding a dust allergy is the first step in taking back your home. The American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology states that if you suffer from a dust allergy you may have the following symptoms; sneezing, runny nose, red, itchy eyes, wheezing, and skin irritation.
"People with dust allergies often suffer the most inside their own homes or in other people’s homes. Oddly enough, their symptoms often worsen during or immediately after vacuuming, sweeping and dusting. The process of cleaning can stir up dust particles, making them easier to inhale." Source
