   There is no way to get rid of or avoid dust mites, they live in everything including sleeping bags. You were right to get the special sheets, if it is still bad I would suggest two other precautions in addition to the sheets. 1. There is a anti dust mite spray you can buy at places like bed,bath and beyond, spray the mattress directly. 2. Put on a plastic cover over the mattress, then the under bedding and then the special sheets. I used to have the same allergy when I was younger and those were the measures my parents took and it worked. Good Luck

   Also check what temperature your water heater is set at. The water needs to be at least 120 degrees in order to kill dust mites. When washing his linens make sure to use hot water and put allergen barriers over the box spring as well as the mattress and it should get better.

   Fungus maybe? Don’t wash clothes & towels with the bathroom rug.
