If exposure to these allergens in houses could be sufficiently reduced, then asthma symptoms may be markedly reduced and even prevented from being initiated. Only about half of the many attempts to reduce mite allergens in houses have shown any clinical benefit. One reason may be that exposure was not reduced enough-however exposure to mite allergens has never been measured in any trial. This review summarises previous allergen control trials and then provides an outline of allergen exposure, including the nature of exposure, the analytical methods available and the recognised risks of allergen exposure. This provides a perspective to evaluate the individual methods used to kill mites and to reduce exposure to the allergens. The object is to provide a framework to improve and develop allergen avoidance as an effective component of asthma management.
