Did you know?
Every night you sleep with about 6 Billion mites in your bed.
Over the years a lot of stuff clumbs up into your bed. Maybe you sometimes snack in bed while watching TV but mainly it's normal dust. I mean normal dust consists mainly of dead human skin cells.
You loose a lot of it each day and nighttime is no exception. The mites in your bed are feasting on it. Of course you won't notice since they are so small, they are not visible with the bare eye.
But they are here - billions and billions. Down below you will find a picture how a mite looks under a microscope. Pretty much Alien like?
But there is no need to worry! They are usually harmless to humans and you can't even see or avoid them - so why bother? It's almost like bactera - there are a lot of bacteria in your body. Up to 2 Kilograms of your bodyweight is just bacteria.
Okay - can sleep well now? No? Sorry, but it is just the truth :>
I hope you liked these facts as much as I did!
