The American Academy of Family Physicians and the American Academy of
Allergy and Immunology both reccomend a a 3 percent tannic acid spray
to make dust mite droppings less reactive and benzyl benzoate to kill
dust mites.

However, I have called to track down where I can obtain tannic acid
and benzyl benzoate without success.  Even my pharmist looks dumb upon

my asking - hmmm makes me think about her mixing my drugs.

I have obtained tannin from a brew your own beer store and assume that
it has the proper acidic content ( although I would lke a better
source).  I have not found a source for benzyl benzoate nor do I know
the right  percentage to add to a water solution to make a spray for
the carpet, and chairs, ect.... 

If you could help, I would breathe much better at the office.

Thanks,

Allergy Suffering Programmer
