GEN: Dust Mites

["Cheryl W. Stevens" <cheryls@NECA.COM>]

As we complete our inventory and weed the fiction section, we have
discovered that we are INFESTED with book mites-particularly our older
titles. This is a problem, as they caused itchy skin on myself and the
clerk, (particularly arms and face), a rash on some staff and students, and
I was informed they are a problem with asthmatics. Have any of you had to
deal with these and if so, how? We are trying to solve the problem in the
next couple of weeks. Thanks you for your help.
