上百萬人對他們自己的家過敏

科學家建議人們定時清理房子

越來越多人每年都深受過敏所苦。根據一份英國的調查顯示，很多人事實上是對自己的家過敏。

為了這項調查，檢視了一千六百名有過敏的患者。大約有58%的人對房子裡的塵璊過敏—也就是住在房子裡面的小蟲。

這種狀況被稱之為居家熱，這會讓人們打噴嚏、咳嗽、流鼻水。大部分有這些症狀的人表示，情況在房間裡更是糟糕。科學家對此並不感到意外。他們說床墊和枕頭是塵璊生長的溫床。

研究顯示大部分的枕頭在購買後六個月重量就會加倍。這是因為有塵璊排泄物的重量。

科學家表示居家熱並沒有治療方法。但是有些方法可以改善。主要是保持居家整潔。你應該每週都要用濕布擦拭表面。你也應該要每週用熱水清洗床單。




Millions Are Allergic to Their own Homes
Scientists advise people to clean their houses regularly.

A growing number of people suffer with allergies every year. According to a recent UK survey, many of those people are actually allergic to their own homes.

For the survey, 1,600 people with allergies were examined. About 58% of them were allergic to house mites – tiny bugs that live in the home.

The condition is being called home fever, and it makes people sneeze, cough, and have a running nose.
Most people who suffer with it say things get worse in the bedroom. Scientists were not surprised by this. They say that mattresses and pillows are the perfect places for house mites to grow.
Studies suggest that most pillows double in weight six months after being bought. This is just because of the weight of house mite waste.

Scientists say there is no cure for home fever. However, there are things you can do to make it better. Mainly, this means keeping your house clean. You should wipe surfaces with a wet cloth every week. You should also wash your bed sheets every week in hot water.
