HOW HAS THE IMMUNOCTEM DUST MITE COVERS BEEN TESTED FOR EFFECTIVENESS?

The IMMUNOCTEM fabric without acaricidal chemical treatment which forms a natural protective barrier against dust mite allergens, as demonstrated by the team of Professor Leynadier, Laboratory of Immuno-Allergology at the Allergology Center of the Tenon Hospital (AP-HP), Paris. "The study on the retention of dust mite allergens by IMMUNOCTEM integral covers" was published in the French Journal of Allergology and Clinical Immunology in December 2006. This journal is considered to be the French-language Reference Journal in Allergology.

In the particle gun test, IMMUNOCTEM tissues filter 99% of 2-micron particles... Few brands can show such a performance! The conclusions of this study are as follows: "... The IMMUNOCTEM fabric effectively prevented the passage of dust mite allergens. It is a good tool for the application of eviction measures such as mattress isolation, recommended by the International Consensus."

It is important to note that anti-mite treatments using acaricides or essential oils, found in most mattresses, are not very effective in addition to their potential toxicity...because even a dead mite can still cause an allergen!

In this regard, you can read the excellent special issue of 60 Million Consumers (April 2017, No. 188, p. 77) dedicated to the potential toxicity of certain anti-mite treatments and other household products. IMMUNOCTEM is cited as a reference brand without chemical acaricide treatment.
