Sheets, pillowcases and duvet covers should be changed at least once a week. But in fact, many people forget to do this and sleep on the same underwear for at least a month. In fact, it is unhealthy. And that’s why.
Eczema
Itchy, dry, chapped skin is a pain in the ass for those with eczema. Dirty sheets can aggravate this condition.
“In a day, we lose almost a million dead skin cells,” Dr. Sabrina Felson of New York University. – Many of them peel off while you sleep or just lie in bed. It’s the perfect food for dust mites, whose droppings can cause allergies or eczema flare-ups.”
Pneumonia
It would seem, where is the bed linen, and where is pneumonia. But there is confirming that pneumonia is caused by staphylococcus bacteria. And in the case of hospital-acquired pneumonia, for example, it was bed linen that was contaminated with them. Therefore, only regular washing can rid the bed of any bacteria.
