Fact: dead dust mites and the waste they leave behind can double the weight of a How to Protect Yourself From Dustmitesmattress after ten years of use. All that extra weight can also cause allergies – annoying, recurring, crippling allergies, which can carry the following symptoms:

  • Irritated eyes
  • Runny and/or itchy nose
  • Sneezing
  • Sore throat
  • Respiratory problems
  • Skin rashes
  • And other frustrating – even debilitating – problems
Dust mites settle in carpets, drapes and plush toys as well as upholstered chairs and couches. Mostly, however, they gather in the place people spend 7-8 hours in every day: bed. Not only is it disgusting, it’s downright dangerous. An estimated quarter-of-a-million people with asthma go to the emergency room every year because of dust mites.

So how can you stop it?

Dust mite-proof covers – that’s how.

These covers are available for pillows, box springs and mattresses of all sizes. To minimize the spread of dust mites, using a bed with a metal or wooden frame is also recommended. It’s also a good idea to wash your sheets and pillowcases at least once a week. Comforters should be washed every month.
