In summer, dust mites are easy to breed. Even in a clean home, there are at least 15 million dust mites and dust mites on each bed. As a necessary household item in our daily life, the mites inside the quilt are densely packed. If you don't sunbathe your quilt for three months, you will be sleeping with six million dust mites. Have you ever thought about the millions of dust mites in your bed with you? That's why we need to sunbathe our quilt regularly.
Dust mites are a type of microscopic pests that are generally invisible to the naked eye and mainly hide indoors or on human skin. If your eyes could see a hundred times more, perhaps you would see all kinds of mites on the bed, densely packed and more terrifying than cockroaches.
Research has shown that after just one month of use, a brand new quilt already contains hundreds of thousands of dust mites and bacteria.
Harm caused by dust mites:
1. Induce skin diseases
Dust mites can easily induce skin diseases because their reproduction and growth require the absorption of nutrients from the skin, leading to clogged pores, rough skin, and gradual thickening of the stratum corneum. Therefore, they can trigger various skin diseases such as acne. Skin mites can also accelerate the formation of fine wrinkles and pigmentation disorders such as melasma, freckles, and age spots, affecting the health of the skin. Dust mites can also cause acne, uneven skin, itching, rosacea, etc.
2. Trigger inflammation
When dust mites invade the eyelash follicles and sebaceous glands, it can cause inflammation of the eyelid margins, and some people may even experience eyelash loss. Dust mites are prone to local inflammatory lesions, such as blockage of sebaceous glands, and can further stimulate the proliferation of the stratum corneum and dilation of hair follicles. Due to insufficient nutrition supply to the hair follicles, hair loss and other conditions may occur. At the same time, dust mites on the face can block sebum secretion, leading to dry and rough skin, and the sebaceous glands are the first to be affected physiologically.
3. Damage to hair
Dust mites can also cause damage to the hair follicles. When hair follicle mites scrape the hair root wall and suck up the nutrients supplied to the hair roots, the hair roots become thinner and loosened, leading to gradual hair loss. This can result in dandruff, scalp itching, scalp disorders, rough hair, and hair loss.
4. Cause allergies
Many people may experience allergic symptoms, as the excrement of dust mites can easily enter our respiratory system and trigger allergic reactions. Dust mites can cause various respiratory diseases. The excrement of dust mites eventually becomes dust and enters the air, and many people have allergic reactions to dust mite excrement, especially those with allergies, causing discomfort such as sneezing and difficulty breathing.
In fact, the simplest way to prevent dust mites is to not immediately fold the quilt after waking up. Let it air for a while, and various mites will not survive for long.
