Dust mites are surprisingly common, and for some people they can cause huge problems. These microscopic bugs are found in nearly every home and survive on old skin cells shed by humans and pets. Dust mites are not usually harmful to humans - they don’t bite or suck blood - their waste products and dead remains are so small that they can be inhaled as dust and cause allergies in some people. An allergist can find out if you are allergic to dust mites.
If someone in your home has an allergy to dust mites, you’ll need to try to get rid of many of the mites and remove the source of the irritation. The best place to start is by making the conditions less hospitable to the mites.
Here are some things you can do to make dust mites less of a problem:

Major Points of Clinton’s Health Care Plan

Health Advice and Issues - All three candidates in the upcoming US presidential election each have a major position on the health care. This is consistently recognized as one of the most important issues for Americans.
Both Democratic party candidates Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton say they want a fundamental change in the health care system, moving towards a more universal plan. Both claim their plans for health care would cover every American without being prohibitively expensive. Both candidates claim they want to change the current US health care system where millions of Americans cannot afford health care insurance, and those that can are often at the mercy of health care insurance providers.
Three major features of Senator Hilary Clinton’s plan are:
1. Individuals will be able to choose between different types of health care coverages and will be able to select one they can afford. Her website says “tax credits will ensure that working families never have to pay more than a limited percentage of their income for health care.”
2. Insurance companies will not be able to deny coverage to anyone with a pre-existing condition.
3. Coverage will be portable. “If you change or lose your job, you keep your health care.”
Critics of this kind of universal proposal claim there is no way this can be done without a massive increase in costs to the government. If there are millions of people who have to be heavily subsidized it is hard to see how this will not cost more money. Opponents also say it would create a large bureaucracy that would be very inefficient. Furthermore, it will be difficult to force private insurers to continue covering people who they consider bad risks.
