小心床铺变尘螨栖息地
“健康会感谢你凌乱的床”
“起床后整理床铺”是许多人从小养成的家训,不过医生梅泽尔(Mehzer)在TikTok发布了一则颠覆传统观念的视频,表示这种看似良好的习惯其实对健康不利,因为它很可能会让床变成尘螨的栖息地。
该视频已有超过260万浏览量,视频开头医生展示了一张刚睡过、凌乱的床铺照片说道:“早上让床铺保持这种状态,你的健康会因此感激你。无论你有没有伴侣,你永远不是孤枕独眠,因为床上有数以百万计的尘螨陪伴你。”
画面接着切换到显微镜下的尘螨大军,梅泽尔笑着指出:“如果你想为它们创造理想的生存环境,那就把床铺整理得整整齐齐吧。”
梅泽尔解释,尘螨喜欢潮湿的环境。早上把床铺整理得很整齐,会把被子里的湿气“闷”住,就像给尘螨提供了一个大派对场地,让它们大量繁殖。
他指出,尘螨可能会让人引发过敏反应,比如不断打喷嚏,类似花粉症的症状,这可能正是因为尘螨的“袭击”。
起床后至少让床凌乱30分钟
或使用防尘布及定期更换床单
那要如何有效对付尘螨呢?梅泽尔在视频建议,起床后让床铺保持凌乱30分钟至1小时,让床上的水分蒸发变得干燥,从而减少尘螨的数量。
当然不整理床铺,并不意味着要生活在脏乱的环境中。梅泽尔还建议可以使用防尘布,或定期更换床单,至少每两周一次,以保持床铺的清洁。
@drsermedmezher “I Hate Sleeping Alone” #really. Dust mites are microscopic creatures that thrive in our homes, particularly in places where they can find their primary food source: dead skin cells. These tiny arachnids are most commonly found in bedding, mattresses, upholstered furniture, and carpets—areas that provide an abundant supply of human skin flakes, warmth, and moisture. Feeding Habits: Dust mites feed on the dead skin cells that humans and pets shed. Each night, as we sleep, we shed tiny particles of skin, which accumulate in our beds. Dust mites feast on these skin flakes, making our beds and pillows ideal environments for their sustenance. Their digestive enzymes break down the skin cells, which they then absorb as nourishment. Preference for Moisture: Dust mites thrive in warm, humid environments. They require a certain level of moisture to survive and reproduce, as it helps them maintain their water balance. The humidity produced by our bodies as we sleep—through sweat and breath—creates the perfect humid microclimate in our bedding. This moisture-rich environment supports the dust mites' lifecycle and allows their population to flourish. Lifecycle and Reproduction: Dust mites reproduce rapidly in favorable conditions. A single dust mite can lay up to 100 eggs in its lifetime, leading to large populations in areas where food and moisture are plentiful. The average lifespan of a dust mite is about two to three months, during which they can produce several generations, further increasing their numbers. #allergy #health ♬ Storytelling - Adriel
尘螨在潮湿环境下迅速繁殖
以人类和宠物脱落的死皮细胞为食
在视频下方,梅泽尔也附上了有关尘螨的知识科普。尘螨是一种微小的生物,尽管它们不易被察觉,但却在我们家中十分活跃,特别是在它们能够找到主要食物来源的地方——死皮细胞。
这些微小的蛛形纲动物最常见于床上用品、床垫、软垫家具和地毯中,因为这些地方提供了丰富的人类皮屑、温暖和水分,使其成为尘螨的理想栖息地。
进食习惯
尘螨以人类和宠物脱落的死皮细胞为食。
当我们入睡时,会不断脱落微小的皮肤颗粒,且堆积在我们的床上。尘螨以这些皮屑为食,用它们的消化酶分解皮肤细胞,进而吸收这些细胞营养,并在床上生长和繁殖。
喜欢潮湿
尘螨需要一定的水分来维持生存和繁殖,因此在温暖潮湿的环境中,其生长得最为迅速。
我们在睡觉时身体产生的湿气(通过汗水和呼吸),为床上用品创造了适合尘螨生存的完美潮湿环境。
生命周期和繁殖
尘螨在有利条件下能够迅速繁殖,一只尘螨一生最多可产 100个卵,并且在食物和水分充足的环境会形成大量种群。
尘螨的平均寿命约为两到三个月,在此期间它们可以繁殖几代,从而进一步增加其数量。
