You don’t think so, you’re not sure…
Well, you probably have about 1,500,000 with you every night you sleep.
The answer to get rid of them is as simple as not making your bed.
Untidy beds may keep us healthy
House dust mites are linked to asthma
Failing to make your bed in the morning may actually help keep you healthy, scientists believe.
Research suggests that while an unmade bed may look scruffy it is also unappealing to house dust mites thought to cause asthma and other allergies.
A Kingston University study discovered the bugs cannot survive in the warm, dry conditions found in an unmade bed.
The average bed could be home to up to 1.5 million house dust mites.
The bugs, which are less than a millimetre long, feed on scales of human skin and produce allergens which are easily inhaled during sleep.
The warm, damp conditions created in an occupied bed are ideal for the creatures, but they are less likely to thrive when moisture is in shorter supply.

Warm and dry eh?… I read about this a long time ago so I got my vacuum and did the bed, I collected a fair amount of dust then went through it under my microscope…and found nothing. I went back and did the carpet under the bed and got the same result. At that point I lost interest and just figured they didnt like me much but your information about them not liking dry warm conditions makes me wonder.. Here in Southern Australia it’s very dry and damn hot most of the time, I always leave my window up a bit so the room is constantly aired. Maybe they just dont survive well here…

>mystic, hot and dry does it, apparently. Probably the same here.
