Health Risks

Why?

Dust MiteThe house dust mite is one of the most significant source of allergens, being the #1 allergen in the home.

It can trigger the following health problems:

Asthma
Eczema
Hay Ever
Bronchitis
Itchy Red Eyes
Mucous Membrance Inflammation

Headaches
Sinus Pain
Fatigue
Morning excessive sneezing
Waking up feeling depressed

It is important to know that it is the excrement of the dust mite which causes allergic reactions, not the dust mite itself. DerP1, a protein found in the mite excrement, has a highly adverse effect on those who are allergic to it.

The excrement blends into to the fibres in the mattress fabric as tiny balls, and later decomposes into fine powder-like dust. This dust is light and is therefore airborne when someone moves around in the bed, causing one to breathe in the dust easily.
