Okay. I heard that you should replace your pillows every 2 yrs. The reason for this is that you could get tons of dust mites on it. However you live with dust mites most of the time. I know you can eliminate dust mites as much as you can. Can’t you just wash your [...]

So I pretty much [...]

I’ve been struggling with very itchy eyes since April. I’ve seen an allergy doctor. I’ve been to an eye doctor at least 10 times. I was told to use artificial tears. I’ve tried every over the counter brand. My allergy doctor prescribed me pataday which did not provide any relief. Then I was put on [...]

It is said that millions of dust mites may reside in our pillows or beds. Does that mean that our faces or skins are also covered with creeping dust mites?
