Many people do suffer from dust mite allergy. What can be done for them? Allergy bedding exists which is the best way to combat a dust mite allergy.
Human perception is an amazing thing. If we don’t see it, we can fool ourselves into thinking something doesn’t exist. That’s probably a good thing, because if we saw all the things we don’t normally see, we would probably never sit down or sleep again.
Every home in the world has millions of tiny organisms living in its chairs and beds. Do you want to think about sleeping with millions of tiny bugs that feed off your skin? Me neither! But people, who have a dust mite allergy, must think about it some of the time. If they don’t realize what they’ve got, they’ll never buy the allergy control bedding they need for a good night’s sleep.
Dust mites are second only to common pollen as an allergen. Many people seek allergy relief thinking they are allergic to cats or pollen when it’s really dust mites that are the problem. For them, a better solution that pills or shots is allergy bedding. It’s a more cost effective and total solution to the problem of mites in the home. And it can be used by anyone regardless of pregnancy or other medical conditions.
What are Dust Mites?
Dust mites are bugs so small they cannot be seen with the human eye. They feed off of human and pet skin, and live in warm, humid areas where body warmth or sweat can keep them cozy and happy. Scientists estimate there can be over 19000 mites in one gram of dust. They are the proverbial "bed bugs" you always hear about.
However it is a myth that dust mites bite humans. They don’t. They only eat dead skin that naturally falls off of us as we go throughout our day. However, they do give off secretions and feces that human skin can react to. The tendency to react to that is a dust mite allergy. These allergies can range from mild to severe and can cause both a physical rash as well as traditional allergy symptoms.
What can be done for allergy sufferers?
Now that we are all pretty grossed about sharing our beds with millions of our closest little friends, lets have some good news. Allergy bedding exists which is the best way to combat a dust mite allergy.
Allergy control bedding uses encasing fabric that keeps the mites from being able to get into the bed, where they are warm and comfy. This fabric must be kept clean and be washed in hot water. However, it will severely limit the mites ability to make a home in your bed. Sheets and pillow cases can be purchased at many home retailers and through an allergist’s office or website. Do not just buy something that says "Non-allergenic". Make sure you purchase sheets and pillowcases that say specifically "dust mite prevention" or "encasing fabric".
Another important tool in allergy relief to go along with allergy control bedding is an actual allergy control mattress or bed. These can also be purchased through websites or home retailers. The fabric of the actual mattress is made of a super-dry material that mites will not like living in, and the cover fabric also includes micro-fiber encased fabric that will keep the mites out of the bedding. It also can whisk away any dust mite feces or secretions to keep your skin dry and clean.
A final plus to allergy control bedding is the softness of the material. Because the micro-fabric is designed to keep the pores of the fabric close together, the actual material of the sheets, pillowcases and bedding is very soft and somewhat luxurious. That is a nice added bonus.
Dust mites are a reality in every home in the world. Cleaning out air ducts will not get rid of them (that is another myth, usually spread by air duct cleaning companies), and even the cleanest homes have them. The only way to give you piece of mind and allergy relief is to buy allergy control bedding and allergy bedding products such as sheets, pillows and pillow cases. These scientifically designed products can keep you from having mites in the bed, and will allow you to have a good, mite free, night’s sleep for a long time to come.
