Coping with Dust Mite Allergies by Dan Buglio
Ever feel like you're not alone in bed? Maybe that because you play host to several million dust mites every night. They find everything they need to survive from you-you provide them with warmth, food and moisture. Maybe this is why it is proven that there are more dust mites taking up residence in your bed than any other area of your home. During the day, when your bed is abandoned, the dust mites will work their way deep
into your mattress and pillow, waiting for your return. Certainly the idea of your bed being a dust mite metropolis is disgusting, but it can also cause your health to suffer. It is nearly impossible to avoid mites, but if you are sensitive to the allergen that they produce, there are many ways that you can reduce allergy symptoms. Your bedroom is the best place to start-eliminating the surplus mite population here will help you to feel better throughout the day.
Bedding: - Hot Water Wash:
Washing bedding once a week is recommended for anyone with dust mite allergies. For severe allergies or allergic asthma, you can try washing your sheets and pillow cases at a higher temperature (104-140 degrees F) as there is research that reveals this can kill dust mites and basically renders the allergen harmless. Certain delicate or brightly colored materials may not hold up well if they are constantly washed at high temperatures. - The Freezer Treatment
Putting porous items (like blankets, sheets, pillows, stuffed animals, etc) in plastic bags and putting them in the freezer for 48 hours will kill dust mites. After you remove your bedding from the freezer, make sure that you wash each article. The freezer may kill dust mites, but without rinsing away the dead mites and their fecal matter, you will still be exposed to their allergen. - Mite Detergents Several companies sell anti-dust mite laundry additives that eliminate the need for washing in hot water temperatures. Typically they use one of several natural, essential oils to kill the mites, such as tea tree oil, eucalyptus oil or lavender oil. There also is a chemical called benzyl benozoate which is used in laundry additives and is known for eliminating dust mites.
- Allergy Bedding and Encasements Another valuable tip for keeping mite out of your room would be investing in some anti-dust mite bedding. The fabric used to make this sort of bedding has pores that are woven tight enough so that mites can't penetrate them. Dust mites will retreat to the insides of your pillow and mattress when you are no longer in bed. Encasements become a barrier between you and dust mites which are naturally attracted by your body heat.
HEPA Filter for your Bedroom It is recommended that you run a HEPA filter to remove airborne dust mite waste and the mite's food source-dead skin cells-from the air. Make sure that you only use an air purifier with a HEPA filter-ionizers (which are often claimed to be good for allergies) will cause dust mite allergen particles to stick together, but because of their tiny size, they do not become heavy enough to fall out of the air or be attracted to collection grids. HEPA air filters are prefered for relief from allergies asthma and endorsed by most allergists and allergy/asthma associations. Check out Dynamic Air Cleaner's CT500 for bedroom applications. Vacuuming and Steam Cleaning Carpets It has been found that sweeping with a regular vacuum may not actually remove dust mites, but rather redistribute them and cause more allergens to become airborne. Using a vacuum with rotating brushes does give substantially better results than one relying simply on suction-but now most HEPA filter vacuums are becoming increasingly affordable and are best suited to the job of cleaning up allergens. It is also suggested that steaming carpets every 2 months can greatly reduce dust mite numbers in carpets. It is important to use steam as opposed to hot water vacuums, because hot water vacs allows moisture to seep deep into the carpet and padding beneath. This extra moisture will create a population boom for the mites. A Couple of Final Tips:
