Me.... Sneezing, of course...Suffering from chronic allergies myself, I am always looking for ways to help my nose and constant sneezing (which you are all so very familiar with) see some better days! I was searching the web for some ideas... when I found this really cool thing! For those of you who don't know, dust is a very common allergen, and one of the greatest places that it murks... is in your bed! One thing that my doctor has told me to do to prevent dust mites, is put allergy covers on my mattress and pillow cases. Any of the cases that my parents and I have come across thus far are the most annoying, loud, uncomfortable plastic cases ever! However, in this article that I found they now make organic bedsheet covers! The covers are made out of wool, which is a natural dust repellent. According to this article, organic wool covers are the best ones you can buy.
Not only will these covers help me from sneezing ever 5 seconds but they are also environmentally friendly! They have no chemicals in them because no chemicals were ever put into the grass where the sheep graze from. Also, the hay that the sheep graze from are chemical free and is grown organically! Apparently, the wool also keeps you very warm in the winter, and breathes well in the summer! It helps regulate your body temperature faster so you can get to sleep quicker and easier. On top of everything else, this is also a natural fire retardant... so when my candles start the smoke alarms off every other night, like normal... i'll know that I'm safe!
I definitely am going to try to figure out where to buy these, and I will let you guys know (or I'm sure you will notice...) if they are working or not! If your interested in reading the article, or are interested in some other great tips (which they have a lot of) check it out!
