Tyrophagus Putrescentiae
Tyrophagus putrescentiae, also known as the mold mite, is a species commonly found in stored foods and household dust. These mites thrive in environments with high humidity and can trigger allergic reactions when their waste or body parts become airborne and inhaled, leading to a range of allergy-related symptoms in sensitive individuals.
Description
Consider allergy testing for Tyrophagus putrescentiae if you have allergic symptoms after cleaning, handling stored foods, or in humid environments where these mites are likely to thrive.
- Itchy and watery eyes
- Runny or stuffy nose
- Sneezing
- Skin rash
- Asthma symptoms, particularly in individuals with respiratory sensitivities
Allergic reactions to Tyrophagus putrescentiae are caused by an immune response to proteins in the mites’ fecal matter and decomposed bodies, which can be inhaled.
To manage an allergy to these mites, reduce humidity in your home, store food in airtight containers, and clean your living space regularly to minimize mite populations.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
