Generally speaking, in the closet placed more than 3 months of clothing is prone to breeding mites, most of them also carry germs and allergens. Light cause skin itching, heavy in the contact area or even outside the site will occur inflammatory reaction, erythema, pimples, blisters, etc., but also very easy to induce allergic asthma and allergic rhinitis.
Long-standing clothing, you look very clean clothing, there is a class of microorganisms are likely to be quietly breeding dust mites. Dust mites are tiny microorganisms that are invisible to the naked eye, and at present we are mainly exposed to house dust mites and dust mites in our lives.
The air is mixed with a variety of dust mites, bacteria, etc., and clothing is inevitably in contact with the air, a long time, seemingly clean clothing is actually likely to be a microbial "gathering place".
Clothes are easy to residual human dander, and with the passage of time, may also reproduce a large number of bacteria, especially not in time to wash or clean clothes, these are the cause of dust mites breeding.
Dust mites reproduce very quickly, in just a few days can be 100,000 million times the growth, especially in the peak of the breeding season in the summer, basically 3 days to reproduce the next generation.
In addition to clothing, placed for a long time sheets, pillowcases, thick quilts and other bedding is also one of the dust mites breeding place, but these will be in direct contact with human skin. Therefore, long-term placement of clothing must be carefully and carefully handled, in order to prevent the threat to their own and their families' health.

Dust
is an important allergen that induces bronchial asthma. Common clinical manifestations of dust mite allergy are mainly asthma and allergic rhinitis. There are various technical methods to prevent and eliminate mites, including indoor cleaning, indoor ventilation, reducing humidity, spraying acaricides and using anti-dust mite functional textiles.
Carpets, mattresses, and furniture covers are the main places where dust mites breed and are a major risk factor for population exposure, and mites can breed anywhere in the house if there is an adequate supply of food and water. Clothing may be a vehicle for the mites, transporting them from their original breeding site to a different site where they can survive and reproduce.
But mites that breed on clothing may not pose a risk to humans. Live mites have been found to breed on the clothes of people who have mites in their living rooms and on car seats. The detection of dust mite allergens on various pieces of clothing suggests that clothing can serve as a vehicle for mite allergen transmission.
