This study is a Study to Understand How to Better Match Allergy Shots to a Child's Unique Mite Allergy Profile 1. Why is this study being done? For many children, tiny house dust mites are a major cause of persistent allergies, leading to uncomfortable symptoms like a stuffy nose, sneezing, and even asthma. A common long-term treatment is allergy shots, also known as allergen immunotherapy (AIT). These shots work like a vaccine, slowly training the body's immune system to stop overreacting to mites. However, not every child responds to this treatment in the same way. The investigators now know that children can be allergic to different parts of the dust mite. While most treatments focus on the most common parts (called "major allergens"), some children are allergic to other, less common parts (called "intermediate or minor allergens"). The EXPLORER study wants to find out if a child
