【轉季咳嗽】和你每日身貼身但又看不見的致敏源
#google一下塵蟎的樣子好可怕
#記著勤清潔保持乾爽
#星期六放輕鬆
由夏轉秋，除了皮膚變得乾燥，更討厭的是容易誘發氣管敏感，尤其早晚時段喉嚨經常痕癢，遇上致敏源或者吸到冷空氣隨即咳過不停，嚴重起來更會影響睡眠，雖不是甚麼大病卻對生活造成不少困擾。
塵蟎是其中一個最大的致敏源，塵蟎是活躍於室內、肉眼看不到的小蟲，在濕暖環境下有利繁殖，以人類或動物脫落的皮屑維生，最愛藏身地毯、毛公仔、床單、窗簾等表面的塵埃之中，所以如果經常身處家中或辦公室，每天就有大量機會接觸到，容易刺激氣管引起咳嗽。如果你不時乞嚏、咳嗽，症狀不似感冒或其它疾病，就有可能是過敏引致，在日常生活中保持衞生，勤換及清洗床單、被鋪，減少塵蟎積聚，對過敏情況會有幫助。
當溫度高於攝氏55度或濕度低於50%的環境中，塵蟎即無法生存，所以想消滅塵蟎，清洗床單被鋪時可用攝氏50至60度熱水清洗，或者如以下介紹方法自製高溫袋除塵蟎。
自製高溫袋除塵蟎
時機：晴天
材料：大黑色膠袋1個
做法：將床單被鋪放入大黑色膠袋中封好，放在太陽下曝曬1-2小時，因為黑色吸熱，有助提升膠袋內溫度至超過攝氏55度，殺滅塵蟎。
