Brief Answer:
Maybe that is the reason of your low count.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Sorry for such a long delay in my response.
It could be due to allergy or infection which you had in past .
So low count could be due to that only.
For dust allergy treatment you can do an allergy test and took antiallergic treatment accordingly.
Hope found useful.
Good luck.
