Study Find Allergists Recommend Protective Bedding
The ugly dust mite pictured above is something you do not want sleeping with you in your bed, especially if you have allergies. According to a Braun Research survey conducted on behalf of Aller-Ease, nearly 98% of allergists recommend protective bedding as the number-one way to minimize indoor allergy symptom. In addition to protective bedding, allergists also recommend antihistamines (96%), air conditioning (88%), air purifiers (80%) and diet modifications (26%).
"Combating allergy symptoms usually involves a combination of treatments, including allergen protective bedding for those with indoor allergies. Beds can be a hotspot for accumulation of many common indoor allergens such as house dust, dust mites and pet dander," said Clifford W. Bassett, M.D., Medical Director of Allergy and Asthma Care of New York.
