Angličtina na iDNES.czDust Mites eat small particles. One of their favorite foods are the tiny flakes of your skin which shed constantly. Combined with the oils and chemicals (thanks to hair sprays, gels and other cosmetics) dust mites absolutely love the modern lifestyle of humans and are permanent neighbors.
As we also discussed yesterday, dust mites especially enjoy living in your pillow, and will get as close to you as they possibly can, especially while your are sleeping.
A Leading Cause of Allergies and Asthma
Each dust mite secretes as much as twenty feces droppings per day. These feces contain a protein which makes it hard for some humans to breathe, thus causing allergies.
Preventing Dust Mite Attacks
While you’ll never get rid of dust mites, you can greatly reduce their numbers. Several companies manufacture protective coverings for pillows and mattresses which will protect you from creatures down to or as small as 4 microns in size.
While none of these coverings can do anything about whatever might actually be living ON you, at least you’ll be protected from things which live in your mattress and especially on your pillows if you use such protective devices.
In addition to coverings, regular vacuuming and dusting helps reduce the number of dust mites, as do "common sense" hygiene habits.
