Los ácaros y sus alergenos - Alergología e Inmunología Clínica

416 E. Fernández-Caldas Volumen 14
2) Métodos para aislar, eliminar, desnaturalizar
o inactivar los alergenos (uso de aspiradoras, limpieza
en húmedo, desnaturalización química con
ácido tánico y el uso de fundas de plástico).
Las principales medidas de control ambiental se
muestran en la Tabla II. El control de los alergenos
en una vivienda no se consigue usando únicamente
una sola medida. Un conjunto de medidas
dirigidas a la totalidad de la vivienda es necesario
para controlar la exposición a los ácaros y sus
alergenos.
