Dustmites: Everything You Might Not Want To Know

Just thinking of these dust mites living in your pillow by the millions, eating your dead skin and hair is enough to make even Gov. Arnold Schwartznegger sick. The are a major cause of asthma and allergies; especially in vulnerable individuals, such as children and the elderly. According to the American College of Asthma, Allergy & Immunology, approximately 10 percent of Americans exhibit allergic sensitivity to dust mites. In the spring, pollen aggravates allergies, and dustmite infestations make it worse. The Fall and Winter months are a particular problem, as we close up our houses and the concentrations of dust mites and their feces increases inside.

How To Recognize Symptoms of Dustmite Allergies

The protein substances in the dust mite feces produces antibodies in humans who are allergic when these are inhaled or touch the skin. These antibodies cause the release of histamines which causes to nasal congestion, swelling and irritation of the upper respiratory passages. The Mayo Clinic, WebMD and NIH collectively provide this list of typical symptoms of an allergy to dust mites; You may experience all or just some of them:

Several studies have taken place recently examining the effectiveness allergen removal through routine carpet cleaning and quantifying airborne dust mite allergen content above carpeted surfaces. Each of these studies has demonstrated the effectiveness of carpet cleaning in removing dust mite allergen and carpets effectiveness in trapping allergen and preventing its release into the breathing zone.

In a two-year, south Florida school study, examining the effectiveness of routine maintenance in lowering dust mite allergen levels, dust mite allergen levels were reduced by an average of 92% with each routine carpet cleaning. An additional 12 month south Florida school study reinforced these findings. In the two-year carpet cleaning study, allergen levels were tracked throughout the study period with a regular carpet care program in effect. Allergen levels, which were considered quite high at the beginning of the study continued to decline throughout the study period and gradually increased only after regular carpet care had been discontinued.

Power Thoughts: New Year's Resolutions

Every man should be born again on the first day of January. Start with a fresh page. Take up one hole more in the buckle if necessary, or let down one, according to circumstances; but on the first of January let every man gird himself once more, with his face to the front, and take no interest in the things that were and are past. ~Henry Ward Beecher

"New Year's eve is like every other night; there is no pause in the march of the universe, no breathless moment of silence among created things that the passage of another twelve months may be noted; and yet no man has quite the same thoughts this evening that come with the coming of darkness on other nights"

Hamilton Write Mabie

"The object of a new year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul"

G.K. Chesterton

"A new year is unfolding - like a blossom with petals curled tightly concealing the beauty within."

In The Spotlight

First remove what you can of the nail polish by blotting it up with paper towels or scooping it up with a plastic spoon. Remember to work the nail polish towards the center of the spill to keep it from spreading.

Next pour a little nail polish remover on a terry cloth towel and blot the nail polish up, again, working everything towards the center as much as possible. Keep applying the nail polish remover and blotting it up until the stain is gone.
If you get to the point where you are no longer getting transfer to the towel, then you will want to pour a small amount of nail polish remover directly on the spot, let it dwell for 2 min. then blot it up.

If you missed the spill and didn't notice it until the nail polish has dried, then start with step 3.

Once you have complete removal, then apply a small amount of Dad's Spot Remover. This will help absorb and rinse out the nail polish remover.

Apply a generous amount of clean tap water to the area and absorb back up to rinse out any residue. Blot or use a shop vac till 95% of the water is removed.

Place a fan in the area to dry it.
