Aller-Ease with a giveaway **Closed**

Kristina was misdiagnosed with asthma when she was 2 1/2 and lasted about a year before they realized that she really had walking pneumonia. It was awful. I became obsessed with cleaning and dusting and dust mites and learned so many things that have just made me continue on being obsessed with it even after they knew she didn't have asthma. Dust mites scare me. I try to limit the kids stuffies and especially only like them to have organic ones.

The protein found in dust mites and their droppings is THE most common trigger of perennial allergy and asthma symptoms. Dust mite allergens affect 50 to 80 percent of the people with allergies or asthma, and can trigger lifelong allergies in newborns. Inhaling dust mites allergens can cause allergic reactions & asthma to people with a sensitivity to them. At just 1/100th of an inch in length, dust mites are almost invisible to the naked eye. The bugs congregate where dead skin cells can be found – in mattresses, pillows, fabric covered sofas and chairs, stuffed toys, carpeting, and pet bedding. A single female dust mite lays 40 to 100 eggs, creating more than 100 new dust mites and 8,000 fecal droppings per month. Dust mites multiply so significantly, that unprotected pillows will weigh 10 percent more after just two years – and unprotected mattresses will double in weight after 10 years.

Even without Asthma I still do everything I can to prevent dust mites and other allergens from my family. I get organic bedding and dust mite protecting bedding, clean like a crazy person, and more!

The bedding has sure come a long way since when Kristina was first diagnosed and I needed to run out and buy it all quickly. Its now breathable and much higher quality. We got a Cotton Pillow Case Protector and I put it on Brandon's bed because he seems a bit more sensitive to things than Kristina is. Its working great. It doesn't make him all hot and sweaty and also acts a protectant for the pillow itself, keeping it clean and last longer.

Aller-Ease has offered up a Cotton Pillow Case Protector to one lucky winner!
