Dust Mites are microscopic insects in the
arachnid family that includes spiders, scorpions
and ticks. Dust mites feed on dead skin that
sloughs from our bodies. They live their whole
lives in mattresses, pillows, and in dark corner
dust bunnies: hatching, growing, eating,
defecating, mating, laying eggs. Dust mites do
very well in fibers such as cotton and
polyester; they cannot survive in natural latex
and don’t do well in memory foam, either.
Allergy symptoms such as skin rashes and
breathing problems are often attributable to
dust mites. |
