WHAT IS THAT "stuff" IN MY AIR?

80% is dead human skin and the rest isn't any better !
  • Our bodies shed 400,000 flakes of skin per minute. Bacteria need a host to stay airborne. On each skin cell live 2 bacteria. Floating skin cells are the main means of locomotion for bacteria.
  • 80% of dust is dead skin; the other 20% are dust mite carcasses and feces.
  • 42,000 dust mites can live in only one ounce of dust!
  • 40 lbs. of dust is generated per year per 1,500 sq. ft. of space hosting 15 different species of dust mites.
  • Up to 25% of the weight of our pillows, stuffed animals or blankets is dust mite fecal matter.
  • Airborne dust mite feces cause allergies, ear-eye-nose-throat infections, asthma attacks, fatigue and depression.
  • Mites constantly eat and excrete; remove the food source and they die.
