“There are more than 50,000 kinds of mites, and more than 40 kinds are common at home, of which more than 10 kinds can cause disease, such as pink mites and house mites.” Zhang Yingbo introduced that about 80% of allergy patients are caused by mites, such as hives, allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis, eczema, etc. In addition, the bodies, secretions and excretions of mites may become allergens.
If you are not allergic, you don’t have to worry about mites? Wrong. Studies show that mites breed the next generation every 3 days, doubling their number. In a warm and humid environment without personal hygiene, the number of mites in bedding can reach a million. With mite allergens in the environment, human intake will continue to accumulate, and even if you are not allergic, you will experience allergy symptoms over time.
It is worth noting that to achieve a good mite removal effect, sunbathing requires dry weather, high temperature above 30°C and under direct sunlight at noon. Therefore, Huang Xi suggests that it is best to sunbathe the quilt between 11:00 noon and 2:00 p.m. on a sunny day for about 3 hours. As for how often to sunbathe, according to the weather conditions and the home environment to decide for themselves, generally once every half a month is appropriate.
Not only quilts, but also indoor carpets, soft fabric furniture, heavy curtains, various decorations, soft plush toys, dark and humid corners, etc. are the hiding places of mites. You should always open the windows at home to keep the room dry and cool, and clean and clean frequently; choose wooden furniture or leather sofas and seats that are easy to clean, do not use sofa beds or fabric beds, and do not pile up miscellaneous things under the bed, etc.
Mites will die in the environment of 40℃ for 24 hours, 45℃ for 8 hours, 50℃ for 2 hours and 60℃ for 10 minutes; of course the temperature is too low, 24 hours in the environment below 0℃, and mites cannot survive. Therefore, you can get rid of mites by boiling water to wash bedding or ironing clothes and bedding with an electric iron. You can also put small items and toys into the refrigerator to freeze them to get rid of mites. Of course, you can also kill mites by spraying mite removal chemicals.
