There are quite a lot of allergies in Taiwan, whether it is eye allergies, nasal allergies, or skin allergies. Many people have allergies since childhood. These three conditions are often "three-in-one". One of the risk factors that cause these troubles is dust mites. Taiwan's damp climate is also a suitable environment for dust worm growth.

Taiwan is generally suitable for growth of mites, so pay attention to items such as wool, wool, etc.

Poison expert Professor Zhao Mingwei said that mites are a very small creature that is invisible to the naked eye, and are only 0.03 cm in size. Although they are small and have a life of only about 3 months, they often exist in large quantities in people's living space, with about 75% of them living in. There are mites in the environment, and the number of eggs produced at one time is 100, which can easily cause allergic reactions in the human body, especially the wet and hot environment with a temperature of 22 degrees to 26 degrees and a humidity of about 70 to 80%. This is the space suitable for their growth. It is generally in line with this condition in various parts of Taiwan. In addition to being suitable for hot and humid environments, they often see pillows and quilts. Thick wool items are also particularly loved by them, such as dolls, carpets, sweaters, etc. If these items are not cleaned regularly, the accumulated mites over the long term will be quite visible.

Discensor mites are prone to allergies and are severely afraid of asthma and other diseases

Professor Zhaomingwei further stated that mites are not only individuals, but also sterile bodies, excrement, etc. can also cause allergies in humans, causing sneezing, runny nose, congestion, red eyes, kidneys, stinging, and even skin allergies. If the body is more sensitive, the situation may affect sleep, or even allergic rhinitis or asthma, reminding the public that if they have long-term allergies, in addition to medical examinations, they should also check whether the environment at home meets the growth conditions of mites.

6 are used to prevent mites and treat health. It is best to wash the mites once every two weeks.

Professor Zhaomingwei said that Taiwan's geographical environment is prone to nourish mites. For the sake of its own health, relevant prevention measures should be taken more diligently, and can start from changes in life to develop habits:

1. Avoid plush items:

For example, such as carpets, cloth window strips, plush dolls, etc. These are places where dust mites are easily hiding. It is not recommended to install or install them in Taiwan. It is recommended to put away related items such as carpets and dolls. The cloth window strips can be changed to leaf windows.

2. Open the dehumidification and purifying machine:

The public can usually turn on the dehumidification machine to reduce the environmental degree, so mites will not easily grow. People who are carrying the coastal areas should pay attention to the higher environmental humidity. You can also choose an air cleaner with filtering mite effects such as light-touch media and negative ion to improve the environment.

3. Regular cleaning of mattes:

Taiwan is almost a long-term environment that meets the conditions for growth of matte mites. In this case, matte mites will naturally grow continuously. Therefore, the professor also recommends that pillows, quilts, bed sheets and other mattes should be cleaned regularly, or clothes that are generally worn. It is recommended to clean them once every two weeks.

4. Hot water kills mites:

Tips will hook the material fibers of fabrics, wools and other items, and it is difficult to wash them off by cleaning. If you use water of normal temperature, the effect may be limited, but the Tips is quite not resistant to high temperature. Therefore, it is recommended that when cleaning pillows, quilt covers, and clothes, you can use hot water above 50 degrees and add anti-mites laundry serum to kill mites to avoid continuous accumulation.

5. Sun-sun kills mites:

As mentioned above, mites are quite incompatible with high temperatures, so you can also use clothes, quilts, etc. to use them outdoor sunny days when the weather is sunny, which is also beneficial to kill mites.

6. Using anti-mites:

technology has been developed. Nowadays, many businesses have made anti-mites or related products, such as anti-mites pillowcases and stents. But it is still called on the public that even if you use anti-mites, you should maintain the habit of regular cleaning.
