How do Bamboo Sheets Keep Away Allergies And Bacteria?

by Kevin Smith Author

Are you allergic to something? Do you experience regular sneezing episodes and your nose runs excessively at times? Is itching and stinging in your eyes a problem for you? When you can't get through the night without either a sneezy, blocked nose, the issue may really be with your sheets. Once the pollen dust clears in the spring, you could still be affected. House dust allergies are most commonly caused by dust mites. The issue may be in your bedroom. Dust mites, which live in sheets, mattresses, and pillows, may cause an allergic reaction.

 

Dust mites

 

Skin cells as well as other natural matter are the food for such microscopic bugs, which are undetectable to the human eye. They also take in water from the air. Their bodies, as well as their faeces, build in-home dust, releasing a deadly protein cocktail that causes allergies.

 

Dust mite reactions can be mild or severe. Watery eyes, a drippy nose, and sneezing are common symptoms of a moderate dust mite allergy. Extended and persistent sneeze, nasal congestion, coughing, skin dermatitis, and even catastrophic asthma episodes can occur in very extreme cases.

 

Hypoallergenic bamboo sheets

 

Thankfully, there is indeed a hypoallergenic option for persons with dust mite sensitivities - as well as other allergies, too: bamboo bed sheets.

Bamboo sheets will help with allergies for a multitude of reasons.

 

These are, first and foremost, breathable. Bamboo sheets allow for quick evaporation of body fluids and vapor. This limits the amount of moisture available to dust mites, which is essential for their survival. As a result, dust mite concentrations are greatly diminished.

 

In addition, bamboo sheets are antimicrobial. The same moisture-reducing properties that decrease dust mite concentrations also impede bacterial growth. This is great news for people who suffer from eczema.

 

Allergies can be provoked by nasty chemicals and colors, in addition to dust mites and germs. These allergies are frequently manifested as asthma or skin issues, which might be prevented using bamboo sheets manufactured from high-quality natural matter.

 

You can rest easy knowing that your sensitivities could be less prone to flare up if you convert to organic bamboo sheets. Dust mites and germs will be strongly discouraged from visiting your bed, and you will be less likely to inhale dangerous substances from your linens.

 

Bamboo is naturally antimicrobial and biodegradable when organically grown and processed without chemicals or herbicides. Bamboo contains "bamboo-Kun," a naturally existing chemical. Bamboo-Kun is an antibacterial substance that confers natural resistance to insect and fungal infestations on bamboo. As a result, pesticides are not required in the cultivation of bamboo. Bamboo keeps its innate resistance to germs when it is woven into fibers and then produced into sheets.

 

Skin irritation and illness may be treated with bamboo fabrics

 

Antimicrobial and antibacterial fabrics, like bamboo sheets, have been shown to not only prevent skin inflammation and infections but also to repair damage already done. In one study, 50 people with athlete's foot, a bacterial condition, were given antibacterial fiber socks to wear. The ulcers linked with the athlete's foot vanished from the victims' feet in 2 to 6 days.

 

Similarly, sleeping on bamboo bedding can aid in the healing or prevention of skin damage caused by allergic reactions, inflammation, and/or illness. Conventional bed sheets trap moisture and facilitate access to bacterial growth; bamboo bed sheets, on the other hand, operate as a moisture barrier, leaving your mattress dry, hygienic, and bacteria-free. The moisture-wicking, non-absorbent, and anti-bacterial characteristics of bamboo bed sheets also dissuade other undesired critters like dust mites.

 

Leave standard bedding behind and add bamboo bed sheets into the nighttime self-care regimen if you want the healthiest, skin-safe, and germ-free sleep of your lifetime.
