At the present stage of life, mankind has faced such a problem as allergy, and every year more and more of its species are discovered. One of the most unpleasant is an allergy to house dust.
And bed mites are nothing more than
dust mites. They arise from the usual dust that everyone has in their homes, from animal hair. That is, feather pillows, wool blankets, terry sheets and towels are all potential dust accumulators. And since all these household items are most often found in the most comfortable and intimate place - on the bed, ticks in bed are the most common inhabitants. Moreover, here for these kids there are all conditions for life: comfortable temperature, humidity, no one touches them.
It is no secret that due to workload at work or with children, we do not change the bed every day, and my floors under the bed are good if once a week. Ticks in bed look quite ordinary under a microscope - a tiny bug with six legs. He feeds on skin flakes that "fall" from a person daily, especially a lot - in a dream. Ticks alone in bed do not
harm the human body. They do not drink blood, do not bite, do not live on the body and do not lay larvae on it. Allergies are directly caused by the waste products of bed mites, that is, excrement. Ticks defecate about 20 times a day, and about 300 million individuals live in bed. Now imagine that all this “good” rises into the air, does not settle for a long time, and we breathe all this. Mite allergy symptoms in bed:
watery eyes, nasal congestion, sneezing, fatigue, headache, asthma attacks, skin reactions and diseases (such as scabies, for example).
How to get rid of bed ticks?
Of course, get out more often, you say. Of course, this is the first. But only with the help of cleaning alone you can not defeat these "neighbors". Naturally, daily wet cleaning is desirable . Well, if at the same time you use a 20% solution of table salt, you need to wipe not only the floors and shelves, but also upholstered furniture, and do not forget about the nooks (under the bed), vacuum regularly. Ticks are comfortable in a warm, humid environment, so you need to use "grandmother's" methods - in the summer, fry mattresses, rugs, pillows in the sun, in winter you can also take out carpets and rugs in the cold. It is also necessary to ventilate the premises daily. Better yet, follow a few simple rules to minimize “communication” with ticks: reduce the amount of upholstered furniture in the house and reduce objects that accumulate dust (such as books, soft toys); it is better to get rid of feather pillows, replace them with pillows made of synthetic materials; remove carpets and rugs from the floor, it is better to use linoleum, tile or wood; instead of soft toys, children should buy “bald” ones (made of plastic, rubber).
You can put air conditioning, dehumidifier.
Well, if the problem with ticks has become unbearable, then you can use special chemicals to combat them: acaricides, anti-allergic washing additives, sprays for processing home furniture. The action of such drugs begins immediately after treatment and lasts for 30-60 days. But when using them, you must strictly follow the instructions and all precautions, since the preparations contain chemicals - surfactants. In conclusion, we can say that there are more than 150
species of ticks, and it is impossible to completely and permanently get rid of them, but for the sake of your own health and the health of your loved ones, do not neglect the simple rules that we have examined, and ticks in bed will not bother you.
