The
hideous creature pictured on the right,
is
a dust mite: one of the two million that infest the average
home. They hide in your carpet, upholstery,
drapes, mattress and pillows.
Microscopic
mite faeces and corpses are small enough to be
airborne and get into your lungs. 80% of the 11
million Americans who suffer from allergies are
allergic to airborne mite refuse. How bad is it?
Well, one tenth of the weight of a 2 year old
pillow is dust mite faeces. Your home is a dust
mite nursery, and you could be swimming in their
unhealthy mire.
Dr. Thomas Platts-Mills, head of Allergic Medicine at
the University of Virginia Medical School, estimates that
somewhere between 500,000 and a million hospital visits
are made each year by patients allergic to biocontaminants
such as fungi, mites, and bacteria. Dr. Michael Berry
of the EPA states that "Carpeting and fabrics not
cleaned and properly maintained have the potential to
cause a variety of health problems inside the building
environment."
The
average person spends 90% of their time indoors. Worse
still, recently the EPA put into the Congressional Record
the fact that indoor air is more polluted than outdoor
air. Americans are literally giving themselves and their
children lifelong allergies with our disgusting indoor
air. Every time you walk into your house, you bring lots
of pollutants in with you: pollens, chemicals, soil, tar,
dirt, car exhaust, cigarette smoke, and thousands of other
things. Then you shut the door, and these pollutants have
nowhere to go except where gravity takes them into your
carpet! How bad are these pollutants? Well, for example,
the day after you spray for bugs, the concentration of
insecticide is 10 times stronger in your carpet than it
is outside where you put the poison. Can you imagine your
child or grandchild crawling across a carpet that has
10 times the insecticide needed to kill bugs, putting
their hands in their eyes and mouths?
