Tens of thousands probably, sometime more, sometimes less. Control methods include vacuuming and reducing the humidity in your home. However, you can cover beds in mite proof materials, preferably without any chemicals (as these can be just as harmful). Unfortunately just reducing the humidity won't necessarily reduce the mite population in a bed. They (especially the males) huddle together to conserve moisture, hence ensure you air the bed well and take the opportunity on hot sunny days to get your pillows and duvets outside. Washing at 60°C (and it must reach these temperatures for 20 mins) can also significantly reduce both the allergen and dust mites numbers. Dyson did a test to prove this with their contrarotator washing machine, which was the first to pass the British Allergen Foundation approval for a wash cycle. I know as I developed the test with them whilst working at Dyson. Do some homework before answering these questions a typical bed can house up to 10 million dust mites.
Dust mite can irritate your skin causing rashes and itching.These dust mites are found in almost every places were dust accumulate.It can also be found in mattress and pillows. It is essential to keep off dust mites in mattress with the help off specially made mattress covers that offer maximum protection from bed bugs.
Yes to a degree it is helpful to put these out in the sun because it kills dust mites. But remember they live deep in your bed. vacuuming will help, but they'll still be some.
he microbes in your bed- Some of the microbes in your bed are called dust mites. (Look at one on Google images) they live on dust. Dust is mainly dead skin cells and dust mites-GROSS!! I would tell you everything else I know but I have a bust to catch at 8:25 and it's 8:21...BYE!! :P

Dust mites, not to be confused with bed bugs, usually exist in numbers between hundreds-of-thousands and millions throughout the home. They like soft furnishings; carpets, rugs, furniture coverings, beds and linen. Between their waste matter and their mortal remains (exoskeletal fragments), their greatest risk to humans comes in the form of allergies. You could have tens-of-thousands of these little blighters in your bed. Fortunately, they feed only on dead skin and hair (which makes up over 90% of household dust) but not upon blood (unlike bed bugs), and maintaining a clean house and regularly washing soft furnishings will reduce their numbers.
wash at 60°C and then tumble dry on high. Both of these methods should kill dust mites.
