I decided the best way to stop the madness was to simply avoid the things that trigger my kid’s allergy symptoms, so that they don’t even need to take any medicine in the first place. For my kids the triggers include just about everything. That means those charming dust mites, all the pet dander, mold and of course whatever is blooming in sunny Southern California.  What I found shocking was that my kid’s beds were a big source of irritation because of dust mites and dust mite droppings. And to think of the amount of time my kids are in their beds with that allergic exposure!

So, these disgusting bugs thrive in pillows and mattresses and since you can’t easily wash a pillow or mattress all the time, I learned it is best to encase or trap the dust mites inside by using an allergy proof cover on the bed’s pillow, mattress and box spring. It is the most effective in reducing the exposure and the most cost-effective if you buy a good product. These products are usually either made of vinyl or a semi permeable fabric. But don’t worry, they don’t crinkle anymore like Grandma’s bed.

Now if I could only figure out a way to get them to keep their rooms clean!
