The People for the Ethical Treatment of Dust Mites (P.E.T.D.M.) request a boycott of THE ALLERGY CLINIC
because they continually advise their allergic patients to murder innocent dust mites. People allergic to us have been
advised to place barriers over their pillow cases and mattresses to reduce exposure to them. Well, guess what? That
deprives us of our food, starving us to death. Even worse, those allergy doctors counsel patients to wash their bed sheets
and blankets in hot water. Wet heat KILLS dust mites. We dust mites have never intentionally caused any problem for
humans. Trapping us in high filtration vacuum cleaner bags is absolutely UNETHICAL! How can we enjoy life inside a
vacuum cleaner bag? Wouldn’t it be more humane if the allergist advised the patients to relocate us to a special shelter
where we could live in peace, without fear of deadly human hunters? Maybe even a reservation on a large farm put aside
just for us dust mites to grow on. You can leave all your old carpets there so we will sleep comfortably, and have trucks
bring in human skin cells so our feast can begin. Allergists at THE ALLERGY CLINIC have advised patients allergic to us
to keep household humidity between 35% and 50% to inhibit growth of dust mites. (You don’t want it much lower than 35%
or you may get dry skin or even a bloody nose). That dry air shrivels us up and we can’t even make baby mites at low
humidity! Masks don’t kill dust mites and wearing one while vacuuming keeps the allergen out of your nose while the
vacuum cleaner is stirring dust up. Yes, we know that you have a super-duper Dyson or Kirby or Rainbow vacuum. Keep
in mind, though, that the expensive vacuum cleaner with the perfect exhaust system may keep allergens in the bag instead
of just recirculating them into the air like old vacuums; but, the brush at the vacuum’s entrance stirs up more dust than it
sucks in and propels allergens into the air--right into the operator’s nose! So, yes, we agree, wear a mask. But other
measures that kill dust mites? Is that really how you want to treat these beautiful creatures? Well, maybe not beautiful;
but, please feel obligated to rescue these creatures from being slaughtered just so the allergic can breathe better.
