What are mites?
Mites are microscopic pests that are generally invisible to the naked eye and are mainly hidden indoors or on human skin. Long mites are a very common type of skin glass mites. They are a class of tiny animals belonging to the subclass of arthropod phyla arachnidae tick mites. The body of mites is very small, and their body size is generally about 0.5 mm, some are as small as 0.1 mm, and most species are less than 1 mm. Adult mites have 4 pairs of feet, a pair of tentacles, no wings, and no antennae, so the body structure of mites is different from that of other insects. The body of mites is divided into jaw body and body. The jaw body of mites is composed of mouthparts and jaw base. The body of mites is divided into foot body and end body. There are many hairs on the body and feet of mites, and some hairs are very long. There are mouthparts at the front end, and there are various foods, such as dandruff.
Mites are microscopic pests that are difficult to see with the naked eye. There are many types of mites, and there are more than 500,000 species of mites. The common classifications include dust mites, pink mites, sweet mites, grape mites, and chiggers. Among them, the most widely distributed mites are dust mites. Dust mites are small in size, although only about 30-300 microns, but dust mites are a strong allergen.
The corpses, secretions, and excretions of mites are all allergens. If they enter the human respiratory tract or come into contact with the skin, they are prone to symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, stuffy nose, itchy nose, eyes, ears, coughing, and asthma.
How to get rid of bed mites
The bed we usually sleep in is also prone to mites, so how to remove bed mites? If there are mites on the bed, first pay attention to cleaning the bed and the toys and quilts on the bed. In addition, you can kill or drive away the mites on the bed board by regularly exposing the bed. The specific methods for removing bed mites are:
Powerful vacuum cleaner to remove mites:
Use a powerful vacuum cleaner with a vibrating mite head to remove live, dead, and fecal matter from mattresses, sofas, and carpets.
Choose a flat bed
If you or someone in your family is allergic to mites, you'd better choose a flat bed without any decoration or metal frame. If it is a bunk bed (upper and lower bunks), people who are allergic to mites should sleep on the upper bunk.
The room should be ventilated for more than 4 hours a day.
The room cannot close the windows often, so that the air is not circulated and the mites will multiply faster. Keep the room ventilated for at least 4 hours a day, which can reduce the damage of germs to the body and prevent the reproduction of mites.
Cleaning beds and bed toys:
Centrally change and wash beds, seats, mattresses, duvets, pillow covers, bedding cotton fabrics and velvet toys. It is best to use high temperatures above 55 degrees to soak and wash to effectively kill mites. Prevent mites from accumulating on it, and then dry it in a ventilated place for a while to completely dry it, which can reduce dust mite pollution.
Exposure bedding
Bedding that cannot be cleaned, such as pillow cores, quilts, mattresses, etc., should be regularly exposed to sunlight and beaten. If economic conditions permit, it should be replaced every 2-5 years.
Freeze and remove mites in the refrigerator
Cold and freezing can also kill mites. Dust mites cannot survive below 0 ° C; dust mites can survive at 0-7 ° C, but they have no ability to reproduce. Washed sheets, quilts, etc. can also be packed in plastic bags and placed in the refrigerator or freezer (if your home refrigerator is big enough) overnight, which is also a good way to kill mites.
How to get rid of facial mites
Mites have great damage to the skin, leading to facial acne and acne. How to remove facial mites? There are many ways to remove facial mites, including scientific cleansing of the face, use of mite removal products, reasonable diet conditioning, etc. In addition, it should be noted that you cannot use other people's towels casually to avoid infection, and you cannot use hormone drugs at will. The specific methods for removing facial mites are:
Scientific facial cleansing
If the facial skin is oily, dusty, etc., it is easy to affect the normal breathing of the skin, and it is also easy to grow mites and form acne. In order to remove and prevent facial mites, it is necessary to scientifically cleanse the face and pay attention to facial hygiene. The correct way to clean the face is:
(1) Wet the face with warm water: Wet the face with warm water, and use a gentle and cleansing facial cleanser;
(2) Facial massage: use your fingertips to gently draw circles from bottom to top to stimulate the skin to remove impurities and excess oil from the surface;
(3) Use a soft towel to absorb excess moisture from the face: After rinsing with warm water, gently pat the face with a soft towel to absorb excess moisture.
(4) Wash twice a day in the morning and evening. If you encounter windy and sandy weather, you should wash it in time after returning home to avoid dust penetrating into your pores.
Rational diet
Eating too much fat or rich in oil will increase the secretion of sebum and aggravate the growth of mites. If you often eat sweet foods, or eat spicy foods, coffee, tobacco, wine and other irritating foods, this can aggravate the condition of facial mites, which is very unfavorable for the treatment of mites. Therefore, to remove mites, pay attention to a light diet. For staple foods, you can eat more coarse grains such as brown rice and corn; for non-staple foods, you should choose more vegetables, fruits, soy products and some seafood such as seaweed and kelp. It is advisable to cook lightly.
Use mite removal products
There are many mite removal facial cleansers, moisturizers, soaps, body washes and other products on the market before. These products are still effective in removing facial mites. However, when choosing, you should still be careful and choose products with brand guarantee, so as to avoid damage to the skin, carefully identify the authenticity of the product, and see its ingredients and efficacy before purchasing. If you have serious skin diseases due to mite infection, you must stop using mite removal products and go to the hospital immediately.
Personal items cannot be cross-used
Sanitary ware should be used separately, and family members should not use towels, pillow towels, etc. with each other. In addition, pay attention to disinfecting these products in public places, and the public health facilities of hotels and restaurants should be equipped with cleaning products with mite-killing and skin care effects.
Indiscriminate use of hormone drugs
Hormone drugs can stimulate the development of mites and increase reproduction, such as hydrocortisone, clofloxasone, and skin-relaxing ointments. If these hormone drugs are used externally for a long time, they may cause capillary dilation, skin atrophy, and pigmentation.
The harm of mites
Furniture, sofas, beds, carpets, etc. at home are prone to mites, and pets at home are also prone to mites. Mites on human skin can induce a variety of diseases. Therefore, to reduce the harm of mites, it is necessary to do a good job of prevention, keep the home hygienic and clean, and keep your facial skin clean. Mites can cause skin lesions, such as folliculitis, acne, rosacea, etc. These skin disease symptoms may be caused by mites. The main hazards of mites are:
Induced skin diseases
Mites are easy to induce skin diseases, because the reproduction and growth of mites need to absorb nutrients from the skin, resulting in secretions clogging pores, causing the skin to become rough and the keratin to gradually thicken. Therefore, acne and other skin glass skin mites can also accelerate the production of fine wrinkles, and also accelerate melasma, freckles, dark spots and other pigmentation, which affects the health of the skin. Mites can also cause acne, bump skin, pruritus, rosacea, etc.
Damage to hair
Mites can also cause damage to human hair follicles. When follicle mites scrape the root wall of the hair root to absorb the nutrients supplied to the hair root, the root of the hair will become thinner and the root will shake, so gradually hair loss will begin to occur, resulting in dandruff, itchy head, scalp disorders, rough hair and hair loss.
Trigger inflammation
When mites invade human eyelash follicles and sebaceous glands, it will cause inflammation of the eyelid margin. Some people also find loose eyelashes and other phenomena. Mites are prone to local inflammatory lesions, such as clogging of the hair fat organs, and can further stimulate the hyperplasia of the stratum corneum and the expansion of hair follicles. Because the hair follicles are undernourished, hair loss and other lesions occur. At the same time, because there are mites on the face, sebum secretion is blocked, which makes human skin lack fat and dry, and the epidermis is rough. The hair fat organs are first hindered physiologically.
Cause allergies
Many people also experience symptoms of allergies, because the excrement of mites can easily enter our human respiratory system and induce allergic reactions. Mites can cause a variety of respiratory diseases. Mite excrement eventually rolls into the air as dust and enters the human respiratory tract through breathing. Many people have allergic reactions to mite excrement, especially in allergic patients, such as strong sneezing and poor breathing.
What should I do if I am allergic to mites?
Some people are prone to allergies to mites. When the secretions of mites enter the human respiratory system, they are prone to allergic symptoms such as sneezing. Especially for babies, whose bodies are very young and whose system functions are not fully developed, what should I do if I am allergic to mites? If mites are allergic, first of all, allergens should be required to keep the home hygienic and clean, which can prevent the reproduction of mites. At the same time, the windows of the home should be opened frequently, ventilated, and the use of carpets and items that are easy to collect dust should be minimized, so that mites are not easy to breed. Treatment methods for mite allergy include:
Stay away from allergens
If you are allergic to mites, try not to touch items with mites. For example, if there are mites on the bed board at home, do not sleep on that bed board. You can replace the bed board, or ask family members who are not allergic to mites to help clean it.
Use bedding covers, etc
Put the pillow, mattress and quilt into the anti-mite quilt cover, tighten the zipper and use it to reduce the breeding of mites.
Do not store too much food
The growth of mites also requires food and nutrition. If there are many favorite foods of mites stored in the home, such as biscuits, milk powder, etc., these foods can promote the breeding of mites. Foods with high sugar content are the favorite hosts of sweet mites. If you accidentally let them enter the body, it may induce life glass. Therefore, the food stored at home should not be too much or too long. If you use granulated sugar, sugar and syrup, tighten the cap after use.
Do a good job of home hygiene
Do not accumulate dust indoors. You can wash the bedding with hot water at about 50 degrees Celsius every two weeks or so. It is also recommended to simplify the bedroom layout as much as possible to facilitate dust removal. Do not place flowers and trees and too many books in the bedroom.
It is best to wear a mask for hygiene
It is best to wear an anti-dust mite mask when cleaning, and wipe the dust with a damp rag to develop the habit of "wet work". Those who are allergic to dust mites must reduce the chance of dust being inhaled by the nose. It is recommended to use a filterable high-efficiency vacuum cleaner, which can better achieve the purpose of "vacuuming without vacuuming".
Diligent drying of clothes, etc
Sunlight has a bactericidal effect. The clothes should be exposed to the sun in a sunny place, so that the clothes will not grow mites.
Stay away from pets and flowers
Raising some flowers and plants at home can purify the air at home and beautify the environment, but it is best not to use flower fertilizers, because there are many mites and fungi in fertilizers. When watering flowers and plants, you can also apply flower fertilizer to the roots of flowers and plants, which will not only give more nutrients to flowers and plants, but also reduce the growth rate of mites. In addition, pets can sometimes become a living environment for mites. If there are pets at home, you must remember to bathe and disinfect pets often.
