Fungal Cells in Synthetic Bedding Can Exacerbate Asthma and Allergy Symptoms
|
According to a recent study by researchers at the University of Otago, Wellington confirms that synthetic bedding has much higher levels of fungi related beta glucan than feather bedding. This is the first study of its type in New Zealand and backs up similar evidence regarding synthetic bedding and fungi done overseas. The problem of allergens in the home is not just limited to bedding. Allergens from cockroaches, rodents, pet dander, pollen and additional sources of mold are also commonly found. All of these allergens can trigger asthmatic attacks and allergies and according to some reports.
Asthma is a chronic inflammation of the lungs in which the airways are reversibly narrowed. Asthma affects 7% of the population and 300 million worldwide. During attacks (exacerbations), the smooth muscle cells in the bronchi constrict, and the airways become inflamed and swollen. Breathing becomes difficult, and asthma causes 4,000 deaths a year in the U.S. Attacks can be prevented by avoiding triggering factors and by drug treatment.
Environmental Diagnostics Laboratory (EDLab), a leading allergen testing laboratory (accredited by AIHA), has extensive experience analyzing samples for known allergens. "Indoor environmental screening of the home or work environment is important for individuals with allergies, chronic sinusitis, rhinitis, emphysema, asthma, atopic dermatitis, immune deficiencies, etc. In keeping with the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) 1997 recommendations, it is desirable to identify and remove common allergens and modify the home or office to reduce the level of ubiquitous (common) allergens", stated Dr. Rajiv Sahay, EDLab Lab Director.
