The Mite Family is also a deep-rooted family! At present, there are nearly 500,000 species of mites that have been discovered by our humans, and they are distributed all over the earth, on land, in mountains, in the air, in the sea...
Mites are one of the tiny animals among arthropods. According to the research of medical scientists, the distribution of mites is closely related to the healthy life of humans. And the most common are dust mites, powder mites, demodex mites, scabies mites, etc., of which the most contact with us is dust mites.
High energy ahead
Dust mites
It is a general high-energy picture.
Do dust mites bite?
Rest assured, do not bite, because there is no need for this, people are not feeding on human flesh and blood, dust mites are mainly based on the "waste" discharged by the human body for food, skin debris, skin dirt and so on.
A person sheds an average of 1g of dander during the day and 2g of dander at night, about 28g a week, 28g is enough to feed how many dust mites, think about it...
It can be seen that where people stay for a long time, where there is more dander falling, where there is more dander, where there is more dust mites, such as sofas and beds.
It is reasonable to say that dust mites eat the "garbage" on our bodies, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with eating it casually.
But the dust mite must be excreted after eating, the dust mite must also have a time to die, and the excrement and corpse of the dust mite are appropriate and powerful allergens, which can cause human allergies, causing sneezing, breathing difficulties, rhinitis, asthma, skin inflammation and other problems.
Imagine sitting on a couch covered with dust mite excrement and corpses floating in the air around you, inhaling into your lungs and waiting for you to sneeze...
Especially for people with allergies and small children, it is the most harmful.
The most concentrated place of dust mites in the home is the bedroom, after all, we have about a third of the time every day in bed to sleep, the bed is definitely more dander, and we will sweat when we sleep, here there is food, and humidity, dust mites like the warm and humid environment the most!
How to eliminate dust mites in the house?
You know, it is impossible to make the dust mites disappear completely in the home, and all we can do is to try our best to reduce the number of dust mites. And the focus is not on cleaning up the dust mites when they burst, but on the effective prevention of the usual time.
Start with their weaknesses!
Food shortage: maintain good personal hygiene, take a bath and wash the sheets frequently, keep the room clean, can effectively inhibit the reproductive speed of dust mites; bed sheets are recommended to be cleaned with boiling water, and then dry with a dryer at high temperature to kill dust mites.
High temperature dehydration: take the quilt to the sun for 3-5 hours, thirty-eight or nine degrees of summer can wipe out the dust mites almost, the effect of other seasons is not significant; the disadvantage is that the dust mite corpse and excrement and other allergens are still on the quilt, and the slapping effect is not very significant.
Dehumidification: suitable for the survival of dust mites humidity of 60%-80%, the use of dehumidifier or central air conditioning dehumidification function, the indoor humidity is controlled at about 50%, the dust mites are basically finished; the disadvantage is that the allergen is still on the quilt, and the cost is higher.
