If our pillows are full of this crap, what's in our mattresses?

Still, I suppose you could get some of that stuff from
the drug store, you know where the label says,

APPLY LIBERALLY TO INFESTED AREA.

or should that be?

APPLY to LIBERAL INFESTED AREA?

How you you know?

Answer.......cause it's BLUE!

It's awful. This animated thing is running around someone's foot, then it lifts up the nail and hops into the bed. I feel like retching every time I see it.

Yeah and I have asthma too. I have gone to Walmart and bought a pillow to use at a hotel a time or two. I have stuffed my coat in the pillow case once when there was no Walmart. I am still not staying home all the time. We are going to Las Vegas in a couple of weeks for the PBR Finals! Yee Haw!

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.

Who in the world would keep the same pillow for TWENTY YEARS!

I hate to admit this, but my nutso father still sleeps on the same down pillows he received as wedding presents over FORTY years ago.

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?
