Are you sleeping with the enemy?

Dust mites can be a serious problem to your health. Did you know these disgusting bugs are actually apart of the arachnid family? This is the same family as spiders and scorpions! Their allergenic by-products are produced from their saliva, feces, sticky egg secretions, and decaying body parts. Dust mites and indoor allergens cause air pollution. The EPA has deemed indoor air pollution as America's number one health concern! �The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology suggest that almost half of all illnesses may be the result of unhealthy mattresses. �The weight of the average mattress doubles after ten years due to dust mite infestation! That's 10% in weight each year. �Exposure to dust mites in the first two years of a baby�s life can trigger a lifelong allergy or even asthma. It can also happen in younger children. �Mattresses contain the highest concentration of allergens in the home, including molds, bacteria, viruses, and dust mites
