WHY PUT AN IMMUNOCTEM ANTI-DUST MITE COVER IF MY MATTRESS IS ALREADY TREATED AGAINST DUST MITES?
The majority of mattresses currently available on the market are treated against dust mites via the impregnation of an acaricidal chemical. This treatment, often ephemeral, is not trivial because of the potential toxicity of the products used and prolonged exposure (we sleep on it nearly 8 hours a day), and does not respond to the real problem: a mite, even dead, remains allergenic.
It is therefore essential that your mattress, even if it is treated against dust mites, is surrounded on both sides by an integral IMMUNOCTEM anti-dust mite cover in order to form a mechanical barrier (a filter) to the passage of dust mite allergens.

As demonstrated by Professor Leynadier's team at the Immuno-allergology Laboratory of Tenon Hospital, Paris, IMMUNOCTEM anti-dust mite covers, without chemical acaricide treatment, form a remarkably effective natural protective barrier against dust mite allergens (at levels below the detection threshold). This study was published in the French Journal of Allergology and Clinical Immunology in December 2006. This is the leading journal for French allergists. IMMUNOCTEM anti-dust mite covers are recommended by AFPRAL, the French Association for Allergy Prevention.
