Are
Dust Mites Making You Sick?
They're Living in Your Mattress!
These
organisms are microscopic spider-like creatures that feed on flakes of human
skin. We unknowingly shed as many as 50,000,000 flakes of skin a day! That's
a healthy diet for a lot of dust mites.

A
National Institutes of Health Study - Dust Mites Huge
Problem in Homes over 45%, about 44 million homes have bedding with
dust mite allergen levels associated with the development of allergies. Some
20 million people in the US are allergic to dust mites
according to The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.
Many
people and organizations are working to find solutions to reduce dust mite
populations. Based on the factual information, it is clear that we have a HUGE DUST MITE PROBLEM in U.S. homes, particularly
in mattresses and bedding.
Beds
are a prime habitat and we spend about 1/3 of our life sleeping. As
mites grow they shed their skin and produce waste that causes allergy
symptoms in millions of people. Many
people with dust allergy react to dust mite particles and waste by producing
a substance called histamine. Histamines cause a wide variety of allergic
reactions - allergy headaches, asthma triggers and other symptoms - sending
sufferers racing to the drug store and doctor for allergy medications, asthma
medications and other prescriptions to stop symptoms. Current solutions include
antihistamines like Dimetapp®, Allerest®,
Sudafed®, Chlor-Trimeton®, Benadryl®, Zyrtec®, Allegra®,
Claritin® and others.
The
house dust mite can actually cause asthma in the first place
according to the National Asthma Campaign, Spring 2000. Even if someone
does not currently have any symptoms, reducing exposure to these allergens
may reduce the chance of developing allergies and asthma. Mitee Clean ™ has
a three step process to extract the dust mites and dust particles from mattresses
and other fabric surfaces while on-site in your residence or commercial environment.
We then treat all surfaces with uvc light that kills viruses, bacteria, bacterial
spores, mold and fungus spores.
DUST
MITES - Not
a pleasant subject to think about. We can try to ignore the situation or we
can work toward a solution to control the
source.At first glance it's easy to enter a state of denial. We did.
"This
isn't a problem in our house", we thought. "Our house is clean.
Those mites are living down the street in the neighbor's house." But
in reality the picture of millions of dust mites crawling around in the mattress
could not be ignored and a solution needed to be found. JUST
TRY NOT to think about dust
mites the next time you get into your nice, warm cozy bed!
