Could our symptoms be from mold or dust mites?« Back to Previous Page

Yes, those symptoms could be linked to mold or dust mites. In dubai, we've seen several cases where poor indoor air quality has caused similar issues among residents. The heavy rains last month might have led to moisture accumulation in your apartment which is a perfect breeding ground for both mold and dust mites.

Mold thrives in damp environments and can produce allergens that irritate the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs of people sensitive to them. Dust mites, on the other hand, need high humidity levels and organic materials like skin flakes or fabric fibers as food sources. Both can trigger respiratory issues such as headaches, coughing fits, and allergic reactions.

Given your concerns about the closet in your bedroom, it’s important to check if there's any visible mold growth or musty smell. If you find anything unusual, it would be best to have a professional inspection done. The emirates require that all buildings meet certain standards for indoor air quality as per their environmental health regulations.

In the meantime, you could try to reduce moisture levels by using dehumidifiers in affected areas and keeping good ventilation. Regular cleaning of carpets, bedding, and furniture can also help control dust mites. Avoid leaving damp cloths or towels lying around as they can encourage mold growth.

Remember, maintaining a clean and dry home is key to preventing these issues. If you notice any changes in your health after trying some basic measures, it's crucial to seek professional advice.
