Itchy Skin
This is one of the primary symptoms of a Spider Mite allergy. The allergens from the mites cause an allergic reaction leading to the skin becoming inflamed and itchy, often leading to scratching and further irritation.
Sneezing and Itchy Nose
Another common symptom is repeated sneezing coupled with an itchy or runny nose. The allergens can cause irritation in the nasal passage leading to these symptoms.
Red and Itchy Eyes
You may experience redness and itching in the eyes, a condition often known as allergic conjunctivitis. This happens due to the allergens irritating the conjunctiva, the membrane covering the white part of the eyes.
Hives
Spider mite allergens can cause hives, which are raised, itchy, red welts on the skin. They may appear unexpectedly and can happen anywhere on the body.
Shortness of Breath
In some cases, exposure to spider mites can trigger an allergic asthma attack leading to shortness of breath, tightness in the chest, and wheezing.
Swollen Lips, Tongue or Throat
Some people may experience swelling of the lips, tongue or throat as a result of an allergic reaction to spider mites. This should be treated as a medical emergency as it can restrict breathing.
