Doctor Christian Jessen talks Dust Mites

Dust mites are pretty much everywhere, whether we like it or not. In fact, a square meter of bedding, or carpet can harbour up to 100,000 dust-mites when fully colonised - nasty stuff!



These pesky little blighters don't like our wool bedding though, because the dry environment it promotes (due to it's unique ability to desorb moisture) mean that they don't get enough of what they thrive on.

Our friend, Doctor Christian Jessen - embarrassing bodies and Supersize vs. Superskinny - is a real advocate of wool bedding and understands fully the benefits that it can have on your health and well-being.

In the below video, the well-known TV Doctor takes a close look at the little critters that are responsible for a number of health difficulties and highlights that changing your existing bedding for wool bedding is a fantastic way to overcome these little pests.
 

Of the total weight of pillows that we lay our heads on each and every night; 10% can be made up entirely of dust mites, including their droppings.
