Oh Yuck
We’re not even safe in our beds! A Medical Microbiology lecturer at the
University of Westminster, Manal Mohammed gives us too much information when it
comes to bedtime. She notes:
1. We shed around 5 million
skin cells each night in bed. (How can they know this?) The microscopic dust
mites have a field day eating those old dead cells. The mite droppings can
cause itching, allergies, and asthma.
2. Those dead cells,
along with saliva, sweat, and dandruff, is the perfect environment for
bacteria, viruses and fungi.
3. Gram negative
bacteria like Staph aureus and E. Coli can find their way into your bed!
