國外一名醫生警告瞓醒切勿立即鋪床,否則會使塵蟎繁殖恐致氣喘發作。
不整理床鋪或對健康更有益
據《The Daily Dot》報導,國外一名醫生梅澤(Mehzer)在TikTok「@ DrSermedMezher」上發佈影片指出,早上起床後,不整理床鋪反而對健康更有益。
醫生指起床後整理床鋪會導致大量塵蟎繁殖
梅澤醫生表示,起床後立即整理床鋪可能會為大量塵蟎提供理想的繁殖環境,並附上一張凌亂、未整理過的床舖照片建議,「早上就這樣離開你的床,你的健康會因此而感謝你……無論你有無伴侶,你永遠不是獨自1人睡覺」。
人們身處塵蟎滋生的環境恐過敏反應甚至氣喘發作
此外,梅澤醫生還展示了透過顯微鏡觀察到的大量塵蟎聚集的畫面,指出這些微小生物喜愛潮濕環境,若床鋪保持未整理,則可以減少其生存空間,「牠們喜歡潮濕,若我們早上整理床舖,這將有助於牠們生存,誕下更多生命」。他解釋,這些難以用肉眼看見的塵蟎其實是蜱蟲和蜘蛛的近親,喜歡藏在棉被、軟傢俱以及地毯中,藉機進食人類的皮屑,滋生大量塵蟎的環境可能會造成人類出現過敏反應,諸如引發持續鼻塞、起疹子等,嚴重時甚至導致氣喘發作,容易讓人誤以為是花粉過敏,「你可能根本沒有意識到,你對牠們過敏」。
起床後30分鐘至1小時內切勿整理床鋪
為了減少及殺死這些塵蟎,梅澤博士認為應在起床後的30分鐘至1小時內避免整理床鋪,讓床保持清爽乾燥的狀態,一旦失去濕氣,塵蟎的數量就可以降低。但他強調,不整理並不代表要「睡在骯髒的環境裡」,他建議每2周至少更換1次床單,以保持衛生。
對此網友意見不一
影片曝光後,有網民直言「還好我很懶」、「我就知道我不想整理床鋪是有理由的」。有網民則表示難以做到不鋪床,「我的強迫症使我無法這麼做」、「每天早上整理床鋪能讓我保持清醒」。
@drsermedmezher They Feast On Us 🤢 #bed. High Humidity: Dust mites thrive in environments with high humidity, typically between 70-80%. They absorb water from the air, making moist conditions ideal for their survival and reproduction. Indoor Settings: Common household environments like bedrooms, living rooms, and bathrooms often provide the warmth and moisture that dust mites need. Bedding, upholstered furniture, and carpets are particularly favorable habitats. Nutrient Sources: Human Skin Cells: Dust mites feed primarily on dead skin cells shed by humans and pets. Since people spend a significant amount of time in their homes, especially in their beds, these areas become rich feeding grounds for mites. Other Organic Matter: They also consume other organic materials found in dust, such as pollen, fungi, and bacteria. Allergy Triggers Allergenic Proteins: Fecal Matter and Body Fragments: Dust mites produce waste products and shed body fragments that contain potent allergenic proteins. These proteins can become airborne and inhaled, triggering allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Enzymes: The enzymes in dust mite feces, such as Der p 1 and Der f 1, break down proteins in human skin cells, aiding digestion. These enzymes are significant allergens #allergy #hygiene ♬ Storytelling - Adriel
