Thank you Dr Berg for the video. I actually do what you've mentioned about adding baking soda to the washing machine; on the top of the washing powder, plus distilled vinegar, and a perfumed disinfectant to mask the vinegar smell, all to help prevent orders or built up fungus inside the machine, I think this comes handy as well for all other harmful creatures on the bedding sheets 😅 Regarding the mattress itself: I vacuum it weekly, and as well steam it with a steam machine, which I add a combination of water and drops of tea tree oil in its compartment. The oil eliminates any bacteria and gives a fresh scent to the mattress.

Dust mites do bite. I'm only telling this because I hope it helps someone. My bed is against a wall and for several months something was eating my legs up and the situation was compounded by scratching them to the point of bleeding. I would pull the mattress out from the wall and vacuum down the wall but the problem persisted. Please understand, I believe in good hygiene and I wash my sheets regularly. However these measures only eased the situation for a little while then it would begin again. I found no traces of bedbugs. Finally, I came across a video that suggested spraying your mattress with an even mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water to kill dust mites. It worked! My legs have healed! No more sores or scratching. Hoped this helps someone. I don't think I would reccomend this for colored mattress.

Air your bed, launder sheets once a week, wash mattress pad a couple of times a year and vacuum mattress at that time, and follow manufactures advice on replacing mattress. Parasites are an entirely different and infrequent problem if you care for your pets properly.

When he lies down, let him say: ‘In Your Name, my Lord, I lay my side down, and in Your Name I raise it. And if You take my soul, then have mercy upon it, and if You release it, then protect it with that which You protect Your righteous worshipers (Bismika rabbī waḍa`tu janbī wa bika arfa`uhu, fa’in amsakta nafsī farḥamhā wa in arsaltahā faḥfaẓhā bimā taḥfaẓu bihī `ibādakaṣ-ṣāliḥīn)’ And when he awakens, let him say: All praise is due to Allah, Who healed me in my body, and returned to me my soul, and permitted me to remember Him (Al-ḥamdulillāh alladhī `āfānī fī jasadī wa radda `alayya rūḥī wa adhina lī bidhikrih).’”

My building had bugs and they wanted to spray a bunch of nasty chemicals/poisons. I said no. The DE worked GREAT - problem solved. FYI, you don't want the industrial filter kind which is processed - you want the kind they feed to cows and horses or the food grade kind. Combine that with the washing and the vacuuming. There are places (maybe not your bedroom) where boric acid may also be useful as pest control. Of course, YMMV.

@@brianlittrell797 actually, we always used a small ampulla that we rubbed at our dogs necks and it kept our dogs flee/tick free for months. I think it was called Frontline, if memory serves me well. Also our dogs were well raised and would not enter the house after walks, unless we rub them with wet towel, so, they were always relatively clean

Annie here; We inherited a mattress which is full of dustmites. I covered the whole thing with a dust mite cover of fine close woven , fabric and a tight zip, which is also moisture proof. I hope that the more modern filling of duvets and pillows are allergy friendly through being dust mite unfriendly ? Add to this a regular airing of the room, followed by regular zapping with ultra violet light room sterilizer, an air purifier when needed, and a de humidifier when needed.

Iron your mattress with the steam on. Another option Spray your mattress with equal parts rubbing alcohol and white vinegar with a little of your favorite scented oil (tea tree, lavender, etc).

Dr berg Thank you for sharing i was always aware and had idea about these microbes and bugs living on mattresses and i always vaccume my mattress on a regular basis plus it would be a good idea to lay your mattress outside in the sun if your lucky and you have a sunny balcony😊

GROSEEEEE! Dr. Berg how about placing diatomaceous earth dirt on your mattress prior to adding clean sheets and using castile soap, sea salt, eucalyptus essential oil with vinegar and baking soda wash to keep them at bay? If you have stains you can use sea salt with lemon. Let sit for 5or so minutes and throw it in the washer.

You should make a video about HEAD MITES!! They almost took my hair...! Everyone said it was genetics and stuffs but I refuse to believe in Genetics (cant believe in genetics AND evolution at the same time I feel like)... I did everything...! I parasite cleansed (had worms), I did the candida diet (30 days + fluconazole)! Once I was riddened of both I was still losing hair... Now, I believe a lot of people have these head mites...! Almost everyone I see that lose their hair, have red skin/super oily skin...! These mites eat that oil and the protein the hair needs to thrive...! So what I did was I bought medicine at the farmacy, applied twice and after 16 hours I swear I woke up without ANY HAIR AT ALL on my pillow...!! WHAT A RELIEF. Please Dr.Berg, I have followed/subbed to your page for a while and you NEED to make a video about these bugs!!! A lot of people miss this bug.... Ive seen friends lose their hair because of this and I almost lost mine...! But I never give up in anything :P So yeah, its the only reason I didnt let "genetics" get to me... ;P I hope you read this! :D hihi

Hi doctor, I’m a 55 year old woman, with a history of minor COVID in 2021 with no requirement of hospitalization. Just after I recovered from Covid in August 2021, I started trying to exercise to work o’ my health fitness ( video of the exercise is added below in the end) however, in two to four days of exercising suddenly on the fifth day morning I woke up with my lower back internally shaking and when I bend the shaking of the entire back gets worsened. I’ve shown to multiple doctors since then but no doctor has been able to point in the right direction and resolve this shaking problem. My life has totally been dominanted by this shaking and it has changed my life for worse. In addition, from one of the doctors I was given anxiety medicines for 6 months and it increased by shaking instead of helping. Kindly help to understand what I’m going through.

Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Prophet said: "When one of you goes to his bed, let him dust off his bed with inner extremity of his lower garment, for he does not know what came onto it after he left it. Then let him say: In Your name, my Lord, I lie down, and in Your name I rise. If You take my soul, then have mercy on it, and if You return it, then protect it as You protect Your righteous slaves.” [Al-Bukhari]
