Mites are small animals that are invisible to the human eye. They feed on flakes of human skin and other organic waste. They are not dangerous to humans. In an ordinary household, they are most often found in mattresses, duvets, carpets. Rotochi are also found in dust, therefore an allergy to them is often confused with an allergy to dust, which does not exist. These animals do not stop harming even after death. In addition to the protein in their feces, the protein in the pulp of their dead bodies also causes an allergic reaction.
