That debris includes dust mites (their droppings and decaying bodies), mold, millions of dead skin cells, dandruff, animal and human hair, secretions, excretions, lint, pollen, dust, soil, sand, and a lot of perspiration, which the average person loses at a rate of a quart a day. Good night!"

When helping our daughter deal with the problem we were very careful not to transfer them to our house, so I don't believe the airtight mattress covers were really necessary, but I've been married long enough that I kept that opinion to myself.
