Los médicos especialistas en alergias y asma nos cuentan que las principales alergias son al polvo, los ácaros del polvo, las esporas de moho, el polen y la caspa de los animales. Todos estos alérgenos tienen dos cosas en común: son partículas minúsculas que flotan en el aire y mayormente se tienen que inhalar para causar síntomas de alergia. Un error común entre las personas que sufren de alergias es suponer que si uno no puede evitar todos los alérgenos todo el tiempo, no tiene sentido tratar de evitar ninguno de ellos. Sin embargo, según algunos médicos alergistas, inhalar los alérgenos del aire es un problema acumulativo. Si uno es alérgico a una o varias sustancias, lograr evitar aunque sea solo una de ellas puede mantener sus alergias bajo control. De hecho, con medidas de prevención continuas y minuciosas, junto con las demás recomendaciones y el plan de tratamiento de alergias de su doctor, usted puede lograr un estilo de vida más sano. PROTECTORES DE CAMA PARA LAS ALERGIAS A LOS ÁCAROS DEL POLVO Los ácaros del polvo son bichos parecidos a las arañas que son demasiado pequeños para ser vistos por el ojo humano. Tanto los cuerpos como las heces de estos ácaros se consideran alérgenos. Estos se encuentren en los colchones, las almohadas, los cobertores de cama, los juguetes de peluche, las alfombras, los muebles tapizados, la ropa, la tela, e incluso en artículos fabricados con materiales “hipoalergénicos”. Antes las personas se resistían a usar protectores porque estaban hechos de materiales vinílicos o plásticos. Pero ahora hay protectores de telas más suaves y duraderas. Algunos de los protectores antiácaros más avanzados, como los productos de la marca BedCare™, utilizan una barrera de tela de tejido cerrado que funciona como un filtro para protegerlo/a de este potente alérgeno.
