Is itching under the quilt caused by mites?

Covering with a quilt is one of the necessary actions when people sleep, because the body is in a dormant state during sleep. At this time, the body's functions will decline, and the resistance will also decline. A quilt is needed to keep warm. However, some people will experience itchy skin when covering with a quilt. So, is the itching caused by mites? Let’s take a look at the explanation below, I hope you can understand it.

Mites are microscopic pests that are difficult to see with the naked eye. When the sun gets warmer in the spring, these tiny mites start to stir. Their corpses, secretions and excrement are all allergens. Once they enter the human respiratory tract or come into contact with the skin, they will cause symptoms such as red spots on the face, enlarged pores, rough and dark skin, sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, coughing and asthma.

Mites are a type of microscopic parasite that is invisible to the naked eye. They are less than 1 mm long and reproduce very quickly, with a population of 1 to 300 in just 3 months. Studies have found that there are more than 60,000 mites on the carpet in a 20-square-meter room.

The corpses, secretions and excrement of dust mites are all allergens that can cause disease. They breed on carpets, sofas, stuffed toys, quilts, cushions, mattresses and pillow cores, and feed on human sweat, secretions and shed skin. In addition, there are flour mites, which mainly reproduce in stored food and grains; demodex mites, which mainly parasitize in human hair follicles and sebaceous glands, such as the nose, ears, scalp, chest, back, etc.; and scabies mites, which parasitize on the surface of the skin of humans and mammals.

How to remove mites from quilts :

1. Use sulfur soap: Sulfur soap has a very strong ability to kill mites. Dilute the sulfur soap and put it into the washing machine, and then add laundry detergent to effectively remove mites.

2. Exposure: The sun is the natural enemy of mites, so the quilt should be exposed to sunlight regularly to kill the mites.

The above is an explanation of why itching under the quilt is caused by mites. I hope everyone can understand it and disinfect their own quilts in time to kill the mites and reduce the impact of mites on the body.
