Do you think that sleep in a comfortable modern bed is safe? This is not always the case.
The environment in which heat and darkness is ideal for the life and reproduction of various microorganisms. Today we will take a closer look at those with whom you spend every night.
1. Dust mite
According to statistics, about 2,000,000 dust mites live in each bed. They live in blankets, pillows, mattresses. Do not try to find them under a pillow or sheet. These neighbors can not be seen without a microscope. Most often they are not dangerous, because they do not drink blood and do not bite. But in some people dust mites can cause a serious allergy. Therefore, regularly it is necessary to conduct a wet cleaning of the bed using chlorine-containing detergents or 20% solution of table salt. In winter, you can simply hang out blankets and pillows on the balcony. In the cold, mites die.
If you neglect cleaning, then for 10 years of using the mattress, its mass increases by 2 times! This is due to the fact that in just 30 days the male dust mite produces excrement 200 times its own weight.
2. Bacteria
Each of us at least once heard that a lot of bacteria accumulate in bed linen. But few people think about what threatens a dream next to them. Stale pillow cases and bedsheets can live more than 91 000 accumulations of fungi and 350 000 colonies of bacteria. But do not worry. Get rid of them all you can, just ironing bed linen.
3. Fleas
Love animals and let them into your bedroom? Then you will definitely spend a night with a parasite like a flea. They are built mostly in apartments that are located near the wet cellars. Fleas bite a person mostly at the feet. The places of bites strongly itch. But, if you regularly treat your pets with anti-blockade drugs, you may never meet these parasites.
4. Linen lice
Waiting in bed, you can and lingerie lice. Sleep with them will not be calm, because they bite a man, wanting to get drunk blood. After bites, there is itching on the skin, redness and small long healing ulcers. In addition, such lice are carriers of typhus and recurrent typhus.
5. Bedbugs
Most bugs live in hotels, hostels and rented apartments, that is, where there are many people. But they can "come" to your home from the trip, hiding in luggage, clothes, wool of pets, and later move to bed. During the day, the bugs are hidden, and when we go to bed (in the first half of the night) creep out. They feed on blood and they only need 3 minutes to satisfy their hunger. After this, such parasites will again go to their secluded cracks.
Bedbugs do not tolerate pathogens of human diseases. It's nothing more than extremely annoying insects. But getting rid of them is incredibly difficult. To do this, you should throw out the mattress and treat the island of the bed with a special insecticide.
