Thank you to everyone who entered. It seems that most people were disgusted to learn:
- A typical unprotected mattress may have anywhere from 10,000 to 10 million dust mites
- That an unprotected mattress can increase in weight 10% every two years due to dust mites and dust mite feces.
I have to agree, that is pretty gross! Luckily our winner Nancy won't have to worry about dust mite's and their feces anymore. Congratulations to Nancy (comment #9) for winning a queen sized set of Aller-Ease protective bedding.
In addition to finding many varieties of allergen bedding covers the Aller-Ease website also offers helpful tips and facts about asthma and allergies such as:
- Place non-washable plush toys in a zip-lock bag in the freezer for 3 to 5 hours
- A single female dust mite lays 40 to 100 eggs
- Instead of carpeting install hardwood, tile, or linoleum flooring
- The wind can blow microscopic pollen spores as far as 400 miles away and up to 2 miles high
- Remove dust collecting clutter from bedrooms
- 50 million people in the US suffer from indoor allergies
If you are one of the millions who suffers from allergies like my family does, I would highly recommend purchasing some allergen bedding covers. They have worked wonders for us!
