（华盛顿6日综合电）“起身折被”是许多人的自小家训，认为这样才是有纪律人生的象征。但有医生警告，原来这种大多人都会遵行的“良好习惯”，其实不利我们的健康，因为它会令一种“怪物”在我们的床上大量繁殖。
这种“怪物”就是尘螨。医生梅泽尔（Mehzer）这条颠覆大部份人传统观念的TikTok影片，浏览量已超过 260万人次。影片开首，梅泽尔展示出一张刚睡过、凌乱的床铺的图片说：“早上就这样离开你的床，你的健康会因此而感谢你。无论你有无伴侣，你永远不是孤枕独眠，因为床上有数以百万计的尘螨陪着你。”
@drsermedmezher They Feast On Us 🤢 #bed. High Humidity: Dust mites thrive in environments with high humidity, typically between 70-80%. They absorb water from the air, making moist conditions ideal for their survival and reproduction. Indoor Settings: Common household environments like bedrooms, living rooms, and bathrooms often provide the warmth and moisture that dust mites need. Bedding, upholstered furniture, and carpets are particularly favorable habitats. Nutrient Sources: Human Skin Cells: Dust mites feed primarily on dead skin cells shed by humans and pets. Since people spend a significant amount of time in their homes, especially in their beds, these areas become rich feeding grounds for mites. Other Organic Matter: They also consume other organic materials found in dust, such as pollen, fungi, and bacteria. Allergy Triggers Allergenic Proteins: Fecal Matter and Body Fragments: Dust mites produce waste products and shed body fragments that contain potent allergenic proteins. These proteins can become airborne and inhaled, triggering allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Enzymes: The enzymes in dust mite feces, such as Der p 1 and Der f 1, break down proteins in human skin cells, aiding digestion. These enzymes are significant allergens #allergy #hygiene ♬ Storytelling – Adriel
然后，影片背景变了一张显微镜下大量尘螨聚集的图片。梅泽尔笑着说：“如果你想为它们创造理想的生存环境，那就准备一张清爽、紧密的床吧。”
原来，据梅泽尔解释，尘螨喜欢潮湿，一起床将被铺折叠得整整齐齐的话，会将有体温湿润的被铺“焗住”，无法散热，等如疯狂喂养这种“小怪物”，令它们大量滋生繁殖。
梅泽尔说，尘螨会导致部分人严重过敏。有些人起床后不断打喷嚏，像花粉症症状，其实是受到尘螨袭击。
所以，要饿死尘螨，“最好早上起床后30分钟到1个小时不整理床铺”，让被子处于凌乱的状态，让床上积聚的水分蒸发掉，令床子变得“干燥”，久而久之，螨虫的数量就会因此大幅减少。
当然，不整理床铺，不代表要在肮脏的环境中打滚。“可以在床上铺上防尘布，或者定期更换床单，至少每两周一次。”他警告人们。
