Allergist, immunologist and pediatrician Svetlana Selivanova spoke about ticks in cars.

An expert reported that house dust mites may live in the car's interior.

They can cause an allergic reaction in drivers and passengers, writes Gazeta.Ru .

Most often, these creatures live in apartments and houses, and they especially love bedding and furniture.

But dust mites can also appear in a car, since the seats can be considered upholstered furniture.

The diet of dust mites includes human epithelium, animal hair and lint from various items.

Therefore, there is a fairly high probability that these creatures can settle in the fur covers on the seats. The doctor called them dust collectors.

If an allergic reaction occurs, the doctor advises replacing fur capes with leather or leatherette covers. But you shouldn't forget to clean them either.
