What Do Dust Mites and Sleeping Have To Do with Asthma and Allergy Symptoms?

_{Imagine lots and lots of little dust mites having a hay day and playing in the privacy of your bed! Worse yet, YOU are the reason they stay. During the day, they mull around in your mattress, waiting for you to return—because you are their absolute favorite environment!  Your body supplies them with warmth, food and water which is everything they require to flourish and raise their hordes of offspring. Certainly this isn't a very pleasant thought but, even more so, it is not good for your health. The dust mites and their fecal particles often trigger asthma and allergy symptoms, making a restful night near impossible.}

_{People spend the bulk of their day, at least a third of the day, in the bedroom. It is apparent you take measures to rid your bedroom of these pests to reduce your night time symptoms. Although you may not rid your bedroom completely of dust mites, there are solutions that can reduce them drastically. Two easy solutions; bed and pillow protectors and an air purification system and plenty of vacuuming with a HEPA vacuum.}

_{The fabric used to make the mattress and pillow protectors should have pores that are woven tight enough but allows body vapor to breathe through protector,so that mites can’t penetrate them.  Using encasements for your mattress and pillows work as a barrier between you and dust mites.  At night, when dust mites emerge from your bed and pillows, this sheet and pillow encasement keeps them from making their way through the sheets to you. We found a great protector used by 5 star hotels and it's affordable too!}
