Dust mites: do they cause itch?

You know when you’re trying to sleep and all of a sudden you get a tiny itch, usually in a very incovenient place? I’m wondering what causes that. Could it be a dust mite, burrowing around on your skin? Or is it just a random firing of nerve cells?http://members.ozemail.com.au/~lblanco/topics.htm

No, you can’t feel dust mites, they’re too tiny. Other causes of mysterious itches in bed are:

Bedbugs.
Fleas.
Allergy to detergent used to wash bed linens.
