* Pristine Allergy Free Bedding

 

Dust mite allergy is one of the most common allergies we suffer from. Some of the most common symptoms are stuffy, runny nose, teary eyes, dry cough, even aches and headaches. Many people suffer from it without even realizing it. If you tend to wake in the morning congested, there is a good chance you may suffer from dust mite allergies as well. Dust mites can be found in all households and will live in carpets, fabric upholstered furniture, curtains and most of all in beds. Dust mites feed mainly on shed human skin and your bed is their favorite place because of the high humidity generated by the sweat from the body and the skin particles. Mattresses, box springs, bed pillows and even comforters are breeding ground for dust mites.

Air permeability is a key component to comfort and satisfaction. If the material you sleep on cannot breathe, the moisture exerted from your body will have no outlet. You will become uncomfortable, feeling clammy, sweaty and hot. A cotton sheet alone is perhaps the most breathable fabric however it has no protection from dust mite and other allergens. The Pristine and the Taskmaster cotton encasings offer you the best of both worlds… the comfort of a cotton sheet PLUS the barrier protection you need!

Our Pristine line of allergy free bedding also includes pillows:

The Allergy Relief Center Laundry Detergent (1qt): It does not contain perfumes, dyes, enzymes, petroleum distilates, phosphates, silicates, caustics, volatile organic compounds, glycol ethers, terpenes and tanic acids.

How can you tell the difference between a cold and allergies?
While both can present similar symptoms, it is important to tell the difference since they are usually treated with different medications.

** A runny nose from a cold will start off being clear then turns yellow or green after a few days while people with allergies will continue to have just a clear runny nose. 
** A person with a cold will usually improve in 10-14 days while allergy symptoms might linger through the whole season until the first frost. 
** A cold sufferer may also exhibit a fever and muscle aches. 
** An allergy sufferer’ symptoms change depending on the weather; windy days increase pollen count, rainy days will decrease ragweed levels. 
** A cold sufferer will usually infect other family members or co-workers. 
** Same recurring symptoms, same time every year. 
** An allergy sufferer often has dark circles under the eyes (allergy shiners). He/She might also have a small crease near the bottom of their nose (nasal crease) from pushing their nose up because it is itchy. Inside their nose, the mucosa will often be pale and swollen, while it usually appears red and inflamed with a cold.

An allergy sufferer will treat with antihistamines, nasal steroids and nasal wash.
A cold sufferer will treat will decongestants, cough suppressants, and possibly antibiotics.
