Preventative measures for house dust mites and their objectives.

Preventive Measure	Objectives
Environmental modifications	Promote a healthier living space and manage allergens by addressing the bedroom environment, encasing mattresses, pillows, and comforters to prevent triggers for asthma symptoms, eliminating dust mites from stuffed animals, replacing carpets with hard floor surfaces, washing bedding regularly in hot water, minimizing clutter, maintaining humidity levels between 30 and 50%, and using dehumidifiers.
Air filtration	Utilize High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) purifiers to trap airborne allergens, incorporating HEPA filters into vacuuming routines, and improving overall indoor air quality.
Allergen immunotherapy	Alter the course of IgE-mediated diseases, such as asthma and allergic rhinitis, by promoting regulatory T-cells and preventing new sensitizations through allergen immunotherapy (AIT) interventions, including sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) and subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT).
Probiotics	Explore the potential of probiotics in modulating the gut microbiota, shaping immune responses, and improving asthma-related outcomes in children sensitized to house dust mites.
