modern bedroom sheets
these vampire critters feast on your bloodwhen you’re asleep. if you’re invaded by an army of bed bugs,then you could be bitten up to 500 times every night – and they can survive for 3 monthswithout feeding, hiding in the cracks around your bedroom. in 2009, one man even developed a life-threateningiron deficiency because of blood loss he suffered from a bed bug infestation. they've also been linked to spreading thedeadly chagas disease, which causes inflammation of the heart. your bed contains anywhere from 100,000 to10 million of these microscopic arachnids,
which survive by eating your dead skin cells. dust mites defecate at least 20 times a day,and their feces can even cause asthma – but don’t worry, these can easily be killedby keeping your room clean. colonies of green and black mold like to growon used, damp mattresses, and if you inhale the spores you could develop asthma and evenpneumonia in serious cases. cladosporium will also give you a nasty fungalinfection called onychomycosis – which causes lesions on your skin, and makes your toenailscrumble off. dirty bed linen can infect you with body lice.these tiny parasitic insects will crawl out of your bedding at night, to suck on yourblood.
if they have a constant supply, lice can liveup to 4 weeks, and cause severe itching – and even typhus in some cases. modern mattresses contain harmful chemicalscalled ‘volatile organic compounds’, which are the same chemicals found in cleaning solutions.okay, so these gases might not technically be alive, but they can still do some seriousdamage to your health. every night, we absorb these toxic compoundsinto our skin, and they’ve been proven to cause migraines, neurological disorders, andeven cancer. and babies are most at risk of being poisoned – today, modern cribs emit4 times as much toxic gas as older models. this fungus clings to synthetic bed linens,and if you breathe in the spores, your lungs
and brain can be infected with ‘aspergillosis’,which causes fatal neurological damage. it usually infects people with weak immunesystems, but anyone is at risk – even athletes. in 2013 an american football player was leftfighting for his life after he developed a fungal growth in his brain from mold exposure. the deadly fire ant eats everything from earthwormsto human flesh, and in parts of america swarms of these insects have been known to invadepeople’s beds. the fire ant will repeatedly sting its victimwith venom until they die from an extreme allergic reaction called anaphylaxis – whichblocks the airways, starving them of oxygen. it might live harmlessly in your gut, butdeadly strains of the e.coli bacteria can
burrow into the rips and tears in your pillows. bacterial infection starts off with feverand flu-like symptoms, but this killer will attack the brain and kidneys, leaving youneurologically damaged and incontinent. even the superbug mrsa has been found lurkingin pillows, which gets into your body through cuts and grazes. once infected, you’ll develop blood poisoning,before your body completely shuts down - and the best part, mrsa is highly resistant toantibiotics, in 20-50% of cases it’s actually untreatable. if you’re in the 50% of cat and dog ownerswho let their pets sleep on their bed, then
you’re at risk of catching worms, animaldiseases, and fleas. a 9-year-old boy from arizona even died aftersleeping next to his sick cat. turns out he’d caught bubonic plague and developed a fever,chills, and swollen lymph nodes.
