Efficiency anti-dust mite fitted sheets

To be 100% effective, the anti-dust mite cover must completely encase your mattress. It is very important to check the quality of the zipper and the fabric used. Choose a high-quality medical-grade fabric that meets the strictest MD standards to ensure quality and, most importantly, therapeutic effectiveness. Make sure the packaging label mentions MD certification and the production lot number. In the event of a product recall due to health risks, the lot number is essential for the recall process

Dust mite allergy in children: understanding, prevention and better daily living

Dust mite allergy is one of the most common respiratory allergies in children. Invisible to the naked eye, the dust mite is a microorganism that naturally lives in household dust. It thrives in warm, humid environments, particularly in bedding, carpets, and stuffed animals.
In some children, contact with these allergens triggers reactions that are sometimes bothersome in daily life.

Why do some children develop allergies?

An allergy is an excessive reaction of the immune system to a normally harmless substance: the allergen.
In children allergic to dust mites, their bodies recognize certain dust mite proteins as threats and trigger an inflammatory response.

Several factors increase the risk:

• Family history of allergies or asthma.
• Early exposure to dusty or poorly ventilated environments.
• Respiratory fragility , especially in babies.

The main symptoms in children

Dust mite allergy can manifest itself in different ways, sometimes subtle:

1. Respiratory symptoms

• blocked or constantly runny nose
• repeated sneezing, especially upon waking
• itchy nose
• dry cough

2. The eyes

• Red, watery eyes
• Itching (allergic conjunctivitis)

3. The skin

• atopic eczema aggravated by exposure

4. The bronchi

In some children, allergies contribute to:

• asthma attacks
• shortness of breath during exertion
• wheezing sounds

What can be done to reduce symptoms at home?

Even if dust mites cannot be completely eliminated, several measures can reduce their presence, including enclosing the mattress in a certified anti-dust mite cover registered as class 1 medical equipment.

Choose an anti-dust mite cover that completely encloses the mattress.

All fitted sheets or mattress protectors that are open underneath are completely ineffective. They do absolutely nothing to prevent dust mite waste from spreading throughout the room.
In particular, caution should be exercised with polypropylene covers described as "multi-layered"; they are very cheap but should only be recommended as a temporary measure because they lose all effectiveness after a few washes, sometimes even after the first one.

ProtecSom anti-mite covers are exclusively full-coverage envelopes designed to completely cover the mattress.

Consequences on daily life

Dust mite allergy can affect:

• sleep (child waking up with a stuffy nose)
• concentration in class
• sports activities in case of asthma
• family quality of life
