Why House Dust Mites, Not Mold, May Be the Real Cause of Your Symptoms

You’ve been told it’s mold. But what if that’s only half the truth?
Studies show that 70–80% of patients with chronic sinusitis or suspected indoor mold exposure test positive for house dust mite (HDM) allergy—not mold. These microscopic creatures live in carpets, upholstery, HVAC systems, and pillows. And unlike mold spores, HDM allergens are a constant trigger, not just a one-time exposure event.
In the video above, I break down why house dust mite sensitization is the most overlooked and misdiagnosed allergy in environmental medicine today.
CIRS? Mold toxicity? Chronic fatigue?
✔️ Brain fog
✔️ Skin rashes
✔️ Shortness of breath
✔️ Facial pressure
✔️ Sinus inflammation
✔️ “Moldy house” symptoms
These aren’t just signs of mold—they’re often your immune system screaming in reaction to inhaled dust mite proteins.
Worse? Many so-called mold practitioners never test for HDM. You can’t detox your way out of an immune response. You must identify the right antigen.
🧬 If you’ve been labeled with mold illness or CIRS but never had a proper IgE or RAST allergy panel… you may have missed the real trigger entirely. And if you’re in a lawsuit? Mold allergy ≠ mold exposure ≠ liability. The science matters.
🎯 Bottom line?
Mold gets the blame. Dust mites get ignored. Your diagnosis — and your lawsuit — suffer.
