Natural remedies for dust allergy Sneezing fits every morning, a nose that runs like a faucet, red watery eyes, and the feeling that you have a permanent cold that never ends: welcome to the world of dust allergy. The culprit is not the dust itself, but microscopic creatures called dust mites (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and farinae) that live happily in mattresses, pillows, carpets, and upholstered furniture.
