A new product which gets rid of dust mites through a simple, non-toxic spray is looking for a business partner in India. The spray is based on a patented ingredient called Active Ingredient Composition (AIC). This substance apparently destroys allergens before they reach the human body, by breaking them down into harmless components.

AIC was discovered by German biologist Gerhard Knapp. The product is based on the enzyme auxillase, which is found in papain – a natural papaya enzyme. AIC helps to break down and inhibit various types of protein chains.

The reason why AIC works against dust mites is that the spray actually breaks down the dust mite feces (the real culprit in allergies) and reduces the dust mite allergen to harmless substances that no longer prompt the allergic reaction.

Millions of people all over the world suffer with dust mite allergies. Like many countries in warmer climates, India has almost perfect conditions for this invisible pest.

The dust mites’ main food are human skin cells and hair. Given that the average person loses as much as a pound of skin in a single year, we are the dust mite’s best friend. The vast majority of our skin cells end up in our beds and bedding (or other soft upholstered furniture) and that’s where the dust mites take up residence.

Unfortunately, this microscopic insect is one of our top allergens, causing rhinitis, conjunctivitis, dermatitis and breathing problems such as asthma.

AIC is an interesting agent against dust mite allergens, because it is simple to apply. It can be sprayed in the air over mattresses and beds approximately once every 2 weeks. The spray can also be used against fungal spores for mold as well as pollens.

The product has been available in Germany since 2006 and will continue to look for a distributor on the Indian subcontinent.
