Dust mite ingestion–associated, exercise-induced anaphylaxis

The diversity of mite species in our environment has been recently demonstrated by Capriles-Hulett et al,7 who have shown the presence of several species of mites, including D pteronyssinus, D farinae, Euroglyphus maynei, B tropicalis, S medanensis, and other mite species, in mattress dust from alle...

Description
Summary:The diversity of mite species in our environment has been recently demonstrated by Capriles-Hulett et al,7 who have shown the presence of several species of mites, including D pteronyssinus, D farinae, Euroglyphus maynei, B tropicalis, S medanensis, and other mite species, in mattress dust from allergic Venezuelan patients. [...]there is a potential risk for some of these species present in human dwellings to contaminate foods, as demonstrated by this and previous investigations.
