Wondering if anyone can help me out.
DS1 had allergy testing yesterday and one of his big reactions was to dust mites. I am also allergic to dust mites so it wasn't a big surprise.
We are in the process of making decisions about how to approach this. I have been reading about latex mattresses and pillows and their resistance to mite infestation. I was wondering though, could one develop a latex allergy from constant exposure every night?
The mattresses and pillows I have been looking at are covered with organic wool and cotton so it's not like you are in direct contact but I still wonder.
Does anyone have the scoop on this?
BTW, I should add that prior to becoming a SAHM, I was a veterinary technician so I have had a fair bit of latex exposure with no ill effect.
