Between this and the toenail ads, I think I've lost my appetite for the week.

Oh that's it . . .All new pillows tomorrow . . . .ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

_{I read somewhere that after a year 1/2 the weight of a pillow is dustmites . . .}

Another ewwwwwwwwwwww

[marmar]

I wash and bleach my favorite pillow....

I love my Aspergillus fumigatus. They taste good with olive oil.

[airborne]

But they're my fungal spores!

[Fido969]

Gross.

[gondramB]

At least the fungus in my pillow is my fungus. No telling whose fungus is in hotel pillows.

Now how the heck am I going to get to sleep!?

Professor Ashley Woodcock who led the research said: "We know that pillows are inhabited by the house dust mite which eats fungi...

Well at least it wasn't

CHEESE MITES!!!!

The scary thing is, they're there, you just can't see THEM!!!

[alloysteel]

Thanks for that mental picture. Now I am going to have to lay awake all night worrying about this....

With a potential enemy ready to assault me from every direction.

[Ditter]

I buy new pillows about once a year but think about hotels and motels. Sometimes it's not convenient to take your own pillow long on a trip, but I'm not going to stop traveling because of filthy pillows.

Is this anything like the secret formula monosodium glutomate??

King Vanity has a trach, suffers from lung spasms and asthema but NOT a history of infections in lungs or sinuses.

I change out his pillows daily do to his copious secretions and toss them in the washer w/bleach.

Perhaps in doing so along with my washing hands or wearing gloves and keeping his room wiped down with 10% bleach water has been the key to no infectious disease. Also change his bed pads 1-2 times daily and sheets every other day.

Yes I do ALOT of laundry.

Probably underwritten by the National Pillow Manufacturers Assn.

...looking to increase Christmas sales.

Ha, did anyone notice that COMPUTERS are also identified as being welcoming environs for fungus?!?

That may well explain why there are so many people driven to madness or otherwise sickness on the internet.

WHERE are they IN the computers? Ha...I'm thinking the issue is probably more that fungus is ON computers, due to the welcoming plastics.

In which case, I use 409 on mine. Highly recommend it.

Aspergillus is a very common fungus, carried in the air as well as being found in cellars, household plant pots, compost, computers and ground pepper and spices.

Pepper & spices? Sheesh. I have to replace all those too?

[SWAMPSNIPER]

They ain't kilt me yet, no way will I get all worried now!
45 years ago, some of the best sleep sessions I ever had was laying on a pile of half dried shrimp nets, I reckon that those nets were all loaded up with all kinds of germs, but the only things I ever suffered, was the mesh patterns on my ugly face! The damned germs never had a chance!
The cool thing about sleeping on a pile of nets is how easy it is, to figure out, how to scratch the spots that really drive you bonkers!
I am Republican, only because the Republican ideal is aimed at, and dedicated to, the preservation of my "inalienable" rights.
I sure would like to hear your reasons!
If "Republican" no longer equals "FREEDOM", I am damned sure out of here!

Big fleas
Have little fleas
Upon their backs to bite 'em

And little fleas
Have lesser fleas
And so ad infinitum
