Importance of washing your bedding
No judgement, but what’s the longest you’ve ever gone without washing your bedding?
Ten days? Two weeks? A month (shudder)?
Or, do you work yourself up into a state if it doesn’t get done every week, in which case, well done you?
Whatever your answer, just be aware that if you don’t wash your bedding for five whole years, there will be repercussions, mirror.co.uk wrote.
Itchy, creepy-crawly repercussions in your eyelashes.
One woman recently discovered the reason
behind her blepharitis, which is an inflammation of the eyelids.
According to The Sun , the cause of this inflammation was hundreds of mites — as many as 10 mites per lash follicle, which at first glance looked simply like dandruff.
These tiny interlopers had appeared because, apparently, the woman from Hubei, China, had not washed her pillow case for five years.
We’ll just let that sink in a second.
The woman only found out she had this infestation after going to hospital because of her chronically red and itchy eyes.
Not because, well, she’d realized she had forgotten to wash her bedding in a long, long time.happily for this lady, mites are easy to get rid of, just some antibiotic eye drops do the trick. And burning the bedding you’ve used for the last five years.
