BED BUGS- HEALTH PROBLEMS due to Bed Bugs?! How to KILL BED BUGS get rid of bed bugs

BED BUGS- Health problems due to bed bugs?! How to KILL BED BUGS get rid of bed bugs?

Bed Bugs

How to kill bed bugs

Preparation for the treatment of bed bugs

Bed bugs have oval flattened bodies, wingless and measure 4-7 mm long. They are a shiny brown colored insect. They swell after a blood meal and then take a dark brown color. There are three stages in the development cycle of a flea: egg, nymph and adult. The eggs are white and about 1 mm long. The nymphs look the same as adults, but are smaller. The last stage takes six weeks to several months to happen. The bug is usually found in the bedroom where it feeds on the sleepers’ blood at night.

Bed bugs
 

Biology Bed bugs feed on human blood: The most common species is the common bed bug (Cimex Mlectularius). They are a serious nuisance and abundantly present.

Bed bugs
Bed bugs

A blood meal takes 10 to 15 minutes for the adult bedbug, but less time for the nymph. During the day, the bug lies mainly on the periphery of the mattress. Depending on the degree of the infestation, it is also found hidden in cracks on the walls, floors and furnitures, in bed frames, behind pictures and under the wallpaper, hiding places also serve as breeding sites.

A temperature of 44oC to 45oC (111oF – 113oF) is lethal to these bugs. Their survival time is assessed to about 20 minutes when the temperature is 65oC.

Adults can survive more than a year without getting any blood.

Dispersion

Bed bugs
Bed bugs

The bug does not get far from its host if it can eat from them regularly. If the infestation is heavy, they can migrate to other rooms. The absence of prey leads to a dispersion of the bug. Thus, when the bugs are present in a room where the people sleep regularly, they tend to stay put. Be careful because if you remove them from the room, the bugs will be dispersed throughout the house or even elsewhere in the building. If this is not the case, they move from one room to another while walking on the ground. Removal or displacement of articles already infested (furniture, bedding, clothing, suitcases, etc..) From an inhabited place to another is the main mode of spread of bedbugs.

Importance for your health

Table 1 summarizes the main effects on the skin (and other more rare cases) associated with bedbug bites. The lesions are similar to those occasioned by a mosquito bite. Typically, bedbug bites appear as three to four bites in a straight line or grouped in one place on the skin, but if the house is seriously infested, several lesions may appear in multiple places on exposed skin when sleeping.

For most people, the bites will result in the formation of small reddish lesions that develop into elevated and hardened lesions. There is frequently a central puncture site of inoculation. These lesions cause severe itching, therefore, they are very troublesome. These lesions are more symptomatic in the morning and the intensity of redness and pruritus (itching) decreases during the day. The lesions occur mainly on exposed arms, legs and back. If the person is not stung again, the lesions disappear after two weeks.

Effects much less frequent but more serious may occur such as nettlerash and giant bulbous eruption that may be hemorrhagic. Children with atopy (allergies) are more likely to develop papular urticaria. Finally, anaphylactic reactions have rarely been documented (see Table 1 for a brief description of these effects on health).

In another words, secondary bacterial infections can occur from recurrent scratching from itching. However, this case is rare.

Table 1. Summary of skin problems associated with bedbugs

Type of problem Brief Description Frequency
Wheal A smooth, slightly elevated, more reddish or pale skin surrounding the associated itching and usually transient. Following each bite
Nettlerash Rapid swelling of the skin with severe itching. Rare
Bulbous eruptions sometimes bleeding Similar to the bells on the skin, sometimes filled with blood. Rare
Papular urticaria Presence of papules 3 to 10 mm, sometimes surmounted by a vesicle that is more persistent than the wheals or typical nettlerash. These lesions can last from several weeks to several months. They are generally clustered and occur more often in young children. We can find these lesions on exposed parts. Rare

No research has focused on the impact of an infestation by bugs on mental health and sleep. However, some references indicate that repeated bug bites could cause insomnia and anxiety.

Although at one time bug bites were suspected of transmitting viral hepatitis, or to develop anemia caused by multiple stings, so far, no proof of disease transmission by bugs or development of anemia has been documented.

Improper application of insecticides on mattresses to eliminate bugs can have important effects on health, particularly towards children. This practice is therefore to be avoided (see next section).

Control Measures

When the presence of bedbugs is suspected, it is strongly advised to call a professional to ensure that they are located correctly and that the various control methods (including the use of insecticides in some areas) are adequately made according to the standards. exterminators must first ensure that the right product is used and that insecticides are not spread over the beds of people. The exterminator is coming every month out of two in order to kill the bugs that will hatch despite the first use of insecticide. Several steps must be taken by the occupant during the process of extermination. These measures are explained to tenants by the firm responsible of the extermination.

Locating the insects

The infestation can be confirmed by the discovery (in the potential hiding places of bedbugs) of live insects, exuviae, eggs or faeces. These can be visible as small dark brown or black spots on the sheets, walls and wallpaper, and sometimes even in electrical appliances.

Control Methods

1. Physical Barriers

Simple barriers may be used. A barrier can be made by coating the legs of the bed with a few inches of petroleum jelly (Vaseline).

However, it should ensure that no part of the bed touches a wall that would provide an alternative access to the bed.

2. Cleaning by vacuum

Vacuuming is a very effective way to remove bugs already present. It is recommended to vacuum the mattress and box springs particularly where the seams, folds and structures are in the infested beds. If the outer envelope of the mattress is torn, bed bugs may have seeped inside it. If so, you may be obliged to dispose of the mattress, in this case, it is very important to clearly indicate that the mattress is infested so as not to shift the problem elsewhere. You should also vacuum the floor and where it is suspected that the bugs are hiding. Be sure to get rid of the vacuum bag immediately, without opening it, in a place where bugs can’t disperse again.

Used furniture should always be carefully inspected and cleaned before being used. Bedbugs are easily dispersed through the exchange of furniture or clothes.

3. Cleaning the bedding

Bedding (pillowcases, sheets, mattress covers, etc.) and linen should be washed with hot water and soap. The bedding should be placed directly into the washer from a plastic bag to prevent the spread of bedbugs in the laundry room and around the building.

4. Use of insecticides

We recall that it is always advisable to hire a professional exterminator to treat your home with insecticides. It will use a registered insecticide while respecting the recommendations designed to minimize the risks associated with the use of these products. Among the effective insecticides, it is preferable to use pyrethrins, pyrethroids and boric acid, as these products have a lower toxicity to humans than many other types of insecticides. People should avoid to do the extermination themselves, since the bugs are often resistant to the product used. If the product is misused, it will aggravate the problem rather than decrease it. Moreover, it is strongly recommended to use hot steam for the treatment of the mattress which are favorite places for bugs. This technique is effective and can significantly reduce children’s exposure to insecticides.

Pyrethrins and pyrethroids are sprayed everywhere we can find bedbugs, or along cracks in the walls, floor and furniture, bed frames, behind pictures and under the wallpaper. You must ventilate the area after the application of insecticides. Neither people nor animals should enter the rooms during the application of treatment or re-enter treated areas within two hours after treatment, and preferably six hours after treatment. It is also important to not walk barefoot on treated areas until 24-48 hours.

Boric acid is applied along the cracks in walls, floors, behind furniture and under the wallpaper that generally have bedbugs.

The insecticides do not work on the eggs. We must therefore repeat the treatment a month after applying the first treatment to ensure that the problem is eliminated.

Identification

Bed bugs
Bed bugs

Adults: 5-8 mm
Nymphs: 1-5 mm
Eggs: 1 mm
Antennas: 4 segments

The color varies from a pale yellow to a brownish red depending on the stage of development and blood ingested.

/ Signs of infestation

  • Bites
  • Bloodstains on the sheets or pillows
  • Faeces (black spots)
  • Exuviae (empty skin left behind after moulting)
  • Adults and nymphs
  • eggs (white)
  • A peculiar smell musty or moldy (infestations)

Biology

Bed bugs
Eggs Bed bugs

Egg production:

  • 1 to 5 eggs per day per adult female
  • Up to 500 eggs per female in his life
  • The eggs are attached by a sticky secretion
  • 6 to 10 days to hatch

Life cycle

  • from egg to adult: 21 days at 30 ° C and 120 days at 16 ° C (relative humidity 75-80%)
  • 5 nymphal stages requiring a blood meal and a moulting to the next stage
  • Life expectancy under normal conditions: 316 days
  • 3 to 4 generations per year

Development Factors

  • Minimum temperature for development: 13 ° C
  • Lethal temperatures: Low: -16 ° C constant for 4 days. High: 50 ° C for 3 hours.
  • Much prefer human blood but merely a warm-blooded animal.
  • Their meals take 3 to 12 minutes.
  • Under certain conditions, adult bed bugs can survive a year without feeding.

Habits

  • Bedbugs move into the bags, luggage, furniture and other objects and are carried by people.
  • Once introduced, they are often spread throughout the building.
  • They tend to move as close as possible to their food source.
  • They can move anywhere when the population increases.
  • When disturbed or hunted, they hide anywhere.
  • They gather in groups in their hiding places where they lay eggs, defecate and moult.
  • The bugs come out at night but could be active by day if the food is not available at night or during a severe infestation.
  • Bedbugs are attracted by carbon dioxide, heat and body odor.
  • We generally observed that when given a choice, prefer to bite children first, then women and men as a last choice.
  • Bedbugs prefer a dry, semi obscure, tissues or uneven surfaces.
  • Its preference is for wood surfaces, paper and tissues.
  • Bedbugs disdain drafts, polished surfaces and metal objects, but they can still navigate.
  • They do not like the movement.
  • After treatment, if no bite or no evidence of the presence of bugs is found in a period of 45 days, the problem is almost certainly set. If there is occurrence of bugs or bites after a period of 45 days without activity, bedbugs have very likely been reintroduced.

Factors of the bedbugs’ resurgence in the world

  • Although nearly exterminated in North America after World War II, bedbugs have remained widespread in Asia, Africa, Central and South America and Europe.
  • Bugs naturally settle in the bags, luggage, furniture and other objects and are carried by the millions of visitors and tourists.
  • The more targeted use of insecticides and bait traps for several years has given free rein to bugs.
  • The recall of several insecticides that were effective against bedbugs and other restrictions on the use of insecticides.
  • Lack of knowledge of our own health and of the population in general helped to disperse the bugs before making a diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Health risk

  • Although bugs can sometimes carry human pathogens, no study could prove they also transmit it. For this reason, Health Canada does not consider it a public health problem. We believe that this could change.
  • Lack of sleep
  • Infections of the wounds if you scratch
  • Isolation or psychological problems
  • Repeated exposure to insecticides if multiple treatments are inconclusive
  • Respiratory problems due to exuviae’s particles of bugs that are found in the air.

Bite Reaction

Bed bugs
Bite of Bed bugs
  • Reactions can vary greatly from one person to another depending on his degree of sensitivity
  • Normally, small red swelling appears because of an allergy some people have. It is a reaction to the saliva injected by the bug
  • 30% of the population have no reaction after being stung
  • The reaction can occur up to 2 weeks after the bite

Working with your landlord and / or manager of property is desirable and even crucial to overcome the infestation. It will be important to contact him to get a date for the treatment.

Talk with him to know how all the stages of the preparation are going before the treatment. Listed below are the recommendations that will help you prepare the affected areas of your home for the treatment.

kill Bed bugs
Kill Bed bugs
  • Empty the closets, drawers, desks. Place bedding and clothing in plastic bags, close them and take them out of the room. Make sure all bags are securely closed before moving from one room to another.
  • Wash bedding and clothing in the hottest water possible, then dry them at the highest temperature. Replace all bedding and clothing in new plastic bags and close them again.
  • All carpets, handmade carpets, upholstery and imported fabrics require steam cleaning and / or professional dry cleaning.
  • Throw away unnecessary clutter and remove any objects lying on the floor. Wash all floors, desks, drawers, closets housing before treatment.
  • Use a vacuum cleaner with a crevice tool to capture bed bugs and eggs. Vacuum crevices of the mattress on the bed frame, box spring, headboard, bed legs, baseboards, quarter round, trim and all the objects that are near the bed. Repeat the same process in all parts of the house. Make sure the vacuum has a bag that can be removed after each use. Avoid using bag-less vacuums. Vacuum every day after the application of insecticide and remove the bag after each use.
  • 24 hours after treatment, you can put the lingerie and clothing in the desks, dressers, drawers, closets and night stands. Do not wash the insecticide for at least 30 days or 90 days, for best results.

No animals, fish, reptile or bird should be in contact with the workpiece infected for at least 30 days after application of the insecticide.

When the treatment is done, particularly when the mattress and pillows have been treated, we recommend closing the door of the room in question and preferably wait at least 24 hours before returning to sleep, especially if it’s a child’s room. Although low toxicity pesticides are recommended, you should still respect the delay to reduce the risk of exposure and particularly for those who are more sensitive. Once the delay is over, it is necessary to ensure proper ventilation of the room, ideally, by opening the window for some time. After making sure the mattress is dry, you will then have to put a mattress cover in plastic with a zipper, clean sheets and pillowcases before going to bed again.

If the mattress, box springs, futons, sofa beds and chairs have cracks and / or holes, they must be put in the trash. You will have to make sure it is respecting the environment and public health.

MENOPAUSE SYMPTOMS – ESTROGEN Women LIBIDO LOVE-DHEA – Natural Products SOLUTION

MENOPAUSE SYMPTOMS – ESTROGEN Women LIBIDO LOVE-DHEA – Natural Products SOLUTION

MENOPAUSE

Many women seek to alleviate the symptoms of menopause. If hormone replacement therapy remains a common and effective treatment, more and more women are resorting to natural health products. However, as is the case for all health products, caution is required because of side effects sometimes occur.

The term menopause means etymologically « stop rules ». It is a natural process that does not occur suddenly. Considering that menopause has occurred in the absence of menstruation for a year. It is preceded by a period called pre-menopause. This period is shorter or longer. During this phase, the menstrual cycle is unstable heavy periods too long or too short. Other known symptoms of « premenstrual syndrome, congestive » are experienced bloating, mood swings, swollen and painful breasts, insomnia, vaginal dryness, hot flashes, etc.. Most women begin menopause late forties or early fifties, but it is quite normal that it occurs between 40 and 60.

Considering that menopause has occurred when a woman has not had a menstrual period for over a year and in the absence of any other problem or condition. The average life expectancy of Canadian women is approximately 81.5 years. The period after menopause now occupies over a third of the lives of women, more than thirty years.

Menopause is defined as the period during which the ovaries secrete increasing amounts of low and inconsistent for two or reproductive hormones estrogen and progesterone. These hormones are potent regulators of brain function and emotional body and many women feel that this is particularly true during the premenstrual days.

The risk of cardiovascular disease increases after menopause. You are more at risk if you have a family history of cardiovascular disease, if you have a history of high cholesterol, hypertension or diabetes.
There are other risk factors including smoking, early menopause and lack of exercise.After menopause, the risk level of women suffer from cardiovascular problems increased and reached that of men. In addition, taking hormone replacement increases the risk of cardiovascular

Endometrial cancer and breast cancer. After the cessation of menstruation, there is an excess of estrogen in the body of the woman (stored mainly in adipose tissue), endometrial cells, can develop and accumulate, transforming itself with thetime, cancer cells. The risk of breast cancer is also increased.
Factors influencing the intensity of menopausal symptoms:
Cultural factors. Western women are more at risk than women of other origins have more pronounced symptoms. The severity of symptoms depends on many conditions in which menopause occurs. In North America, nearly 80% of women have symptoms of menopause, especially hot flashes. But in Asia, they are only 20%.
This is largely explained by the diet. Indeed, an abundant consumption of soy products, a food that has a high content of phytoestrogens prevent the « de swaying » important and reduces the impact of hormonal imbalance and its symptoms. However, it is noted that genetic factors are involved, as demonstrated by studies of immigrant populations.
Psychological factors. Menopause occurs at a time of life often carries other changes: children leaving home, leaving the spouse with a younger, early retirement, etc.. Recognition of seniors as wise people often reduce the unpleasant symptoms of menopause … This leaves he heard that part of stress and psychological factors may be involved in the phenomenon? The attitude of mind deal with these changes will influence the intensity of symptoms.
Other factors. Lack of exercise and physical inactivity related to the severity of the symptoms of menopause.
The age at which menopause occurs is partly hereditary.
One hundred years ago, the average age of first menstruation was 16. Now it’s 12 years. Women became pregnant much younger, had more pregnancies, more and longer breastfeeding and had only 100 to 200 menstruating before menopause.
One hundred years later, women have fewer children, breastfeeding less time and less often and experiment from 300 to 400 periods during their working lives. Their hormonal system is idle, resulting in infertility, PMS, cancer, fibroids, menopause and migraine pain.
Estrogen and progesterone have somewhat opposite effects that allow them to remain in balance. If the level of progesterone decreases estrogen dominate causing a multitude of discomforts and ailments.

Diseases Associated with Menopause:

Osteoporosis:
At menopause, bone loss accelerates normal for a few years before returning to normal. Therefore, after menopause, women have a lower bone density than menCardiovascular disorders. The risk of cardiovascular disease increases after menopause. You are more at risk if you have a family history of cardiovascular disease, if you have a history of high cholesterol, hypertension or diabetes.

There are other risk factors including smoking, early menopause and lack of exercise.After menopause, the risk level of women suffer from cardiovascular problems increased and reached that of men. In addition, taking hormone replacement increases the risk of cardiovascularUrinary incontinence. After menopause, declining estrogen may cause atrophy of the muscles of the perineum. Drops of urine can escape when a force is well supplied, when we laugh, cough or during sexEndometrial cancer and breast cancer. After the cessation of menstruation, there is an excess of estrogen in the body of the woman (stored mainly in adipose tissue), endometrial cells, can develop and accumulate, transforming itself with thetime, cancer cells.

The risk of breast cancer is also increased.Factors influencing the intensity of menopausal symptoms:
Cultural factors. Western women are more at risk than women of other origins have more pronounced symptoms.

The severity of symptoms depends on many conditions in which menopause occurs. In North America, nearly 80% of women have symptoms of menopause, especially hot flashes. But in Asia, they are only 20%.This is largely explained by the diet. Indeed, an abundant consumption of soy products, a food that has a high content of phytoestrogens prevent the « de swaying » important and reduces the impact of hormonal imbalance and its symptoms.

However, it is noted that genetic factors are involved, as demonstrated by studies of immigrant populations.

Psychological Factors.

Menopause occurs at a time of life often carries other changes: children leaving home, leaving the spouse with a younger, early retirement, etc.. Recognition of seniors as wise people often reduce the unpleasant symptoms of menopause …

  • SYMPTOM
  • During menopause, some women just stop having periods. Others will experience symptoms for several years if no measures are taken to relieve symptoms.Change in the menstrual cycle. This is one of the first signs of menopause. This included an irregular menstrual periods, they may for example be closer together.Bleeding may also be more or less heavily than usual
  • Hot flashes. This is the most common symptom of menopause. They can be somewhat unpleasant, but can also become a major enough to affect the quality of sleep and daily life. Between 50 and 80% of menopausal women suffer to varying degrees. They usually last a few seconds up to an hour. More than a dozen episodes per day are often observed.
  • However, they are more frequent at night. They can occur for at least a year but rarely exceed five years for most women. Hot flashes are typically experienced so sudden, first in the abdomen or chest, and within seconds they rise to the head.The skin may become red and sweating become abundant, the breath is often accompanied by digestive problems and dizziness. Headache and palpitations, followed by chills may accompany
  • Tendency to insomnia. Insomnia related to menopause result of hot flashes at night that awaken menopausal women. Hot flashes and night disturbing sleep and weaken the body, sometimes dramatically. In such cases, post-menopausal women is fast becoming tired, irritable, depressed and prone to many ailments while all weaknesses are emerging
  • Problems with urinary tract infections. You will be more vulnerable to bladder infections after menopause.
  • Sometimes you can present without symptoms of infection, that is to say, feel the need to urinate often, feeling an urgent need to urinate, experience a burning sensation when urinating, be unable to to urinate or get up frequently at night to urinate.
  • Thinning of the vagina and vulva. Menopause causes thinning of the vaginal wall and the region of the vulva. The vagina loses its ability to produce lubrication during sexual arousal
  • Dry mucous membranes. Dryness of mucous vaginal and bladder tends to occur when it’s been over five years that menstruation has ceased. It takes a daily discomfort with itching, dryness, burning, which favors the occurrence of repeated vaginal infections. Besides all this makes sex painful and painful

 

Weight gain. Usually it is entre2 and 10 kg.

  • Fat cells convert hormones of the adrenal glands in female hormones. A slight weight gain, because it reduces the hormonal decline at menopause, is beneficial to health
  • Cognitive impairment. Disorders of memory or concentration, associated with menopause can be caused by insomnia
  • Decreased libido. Sexual desire is a complex human phenomenon, from a hormone, seems mostly driven by testosterone. Women also produce testosterone, although they produce less than men. It happens at the menopause, female testosterone production also decreases, although this is not a direct result of the cessation of menstruation
  • Mood disorders. Almost all women experience mood changes that may occur during a menstrual cycle. The cessation of menstruation may also cause similar problems: irritability, anxiety, emotions on edge, depressed. Note that if symptoms of depression occur, they should be treated separately
  • Changes in skin, hair and nails. Changes in the skin, hair and nails that occur around menopause often have other underlying causes, such as a thyroid slowdown.
  • The inconveniences that follow vary depending on the individual. They may also include headache, tinnitus, sensation of mist and flies before the eyes, chest tightness, an emotional instability. The increased presence of cellulite. The fabrics tend to lose their tone and become waterlogged.


LOVE AFTER MENOPAUSE

Menopause happens to be a turning point in the life of a couple: physical and emotional changes affect the decline in sexuality. The only medical consideration is not sufficient to overcome this phenomenon. Psychological aspects have a direct impact on the libido.

Physiological changes

Menopause is the product of a lower production of hormones (estrogen and progesterone) for women leading to the cessation of menstruation, vaginal dryness, hot flashes, but regular reporting keeps the vagina in good health.

The erection was quickly put a few minutes before coming but once present, it will be established for long. Therefore, the attitude of the female partner is crucial to the rise of excitation in humans. The inactivity of women is unacceptable! The amount of semen ejaculated is less important and the power of expulsion. In addition, it is not uncommon after 60 years, a man must wait 24 hours to obtain a new erection.

But this does not explain everything: fear of hurting her partner brings the man to erectile dysfunction as it is important that the mechanisms that allow a good excitement is maintained and good communication in marriage . If however, the woman keeps vaginal dryness, lubricants are water-based non-fat

Psychological changes

There is a decrease in sexual desire in women by 50%. We mentioned the physiological changes that occur in the fall of the libido, but other factors also fall into play. The departure of children, work stoppage, down sometimes lead to depression, irritability. Moreover, diseases, surgery frequently leads to arrest of sex but there is also the opposite effect for a third of the women freed from a lot of trouble, they engage in erotic pleasures

The only physical problems do not explain the decrease of sexuality, the decline in confidence, of self-esteem, lack of activity directly affect the couple’s sexual activity.

DHEA: the key to improving older people’s sexuality?

DHEA is a hormone that is produced naturally by the body 18 to 45 years but productivity declines after a certain age. Taking DHEA leads to an increase in male hormones: testosterone. But the theory is far from being emulated in real life.Why? Just because the consequences of taking DHEA does not give linear results.

The sexuality of older people: more qualitative and quantitative

To adapt to this changing body, the pair must change their sexual practices: it is no longer to have 4 or 5-on but to take further provisions that will enable them confidently to establish a harmonious relationship and satisfactory.

In his youth, the man took the lead in lovemaking but the anime fire less because of lower testosterone. If all conditions are met, some women take the lead intuitive. They will agree to move their experience of sexuality in the relationship and sharing: developing the language that will bring physical pleasure, through a range of emotion.

We have placed great emphasis on the decline in female libido. But how women react to male impotence?

Coping with erectile dysfunction to their romantic partner is an ordeal for many women. They react according to their character but also the type of relationship they have with their spouse.

All Green Sleep mattress can be placed on legs or bed frames Green Sleep. Ourbed frames are constructed of selected hardwoods and each piece is worked by aprofessional cabinetmaker in accordance with European traditions. At the stagefinish, only the best natural waxes and oils are applied non-toxic.

Canadian lumber we use

The wood used for Green Sleep products comes from sustainable Canadian forests. Even our high-quality European studs are made of maple and birch from Canadian sources.

In the province of Quebec, sustainable management is called gardening. This method is highly specialized for growth and logging is monitored by inspectorstrained by the government. Once the exact number of trees that were selected in designated areas, the approval is given to cut. The staff oversees forestry cuttingthe forest to protect against damage. If there is damage, steps are taken immediately to rectify the situation.

Organic cotton =comfort

In accordance with our personal philosophy to foster an environment free of toxins,Green Sleep buys and buys only the cotton picked by hand without chemicals.

Usually, the cultivation of cotton in developed countries is using pesticides and herbicides. Plants absorb these poisons through their leaves and drinkcontaminated land, until the whole plant is impregnated with toxins.

How our organic cotton is harveste

By cons, cotton purchased by Green Sleep for its exclusive line of sleep systemsand bedding is grown in traditional cooperatives centennial of Cañete and Chincha valleys high up in the Peruvian Andes. No herbicides, pesticides orsynthetic fertilizers are used to control plant growth, fight pests, or fertilize the crop. No synthetic defoliant is used to remove the leaves in preparation for the harvest or during the manufacturing process. In addition, hand harvesting ensures that the cotton fibers are the most clean, pure and be flexible – and far superior to those of the usual mattresses and box springs.

In Germany and Switzerland, according to best environmental standards andquality control, cotton fiber is woven to become soft fabrics and superior qualitythat our customers have complete confidence. And they would not otherwise.

Green Sleep is proud to serve in all its products only organic cotton certified bythe certification body KRAV. The stamp of approval from the Swedish KRAV, the oldest and most sought guarantees of organic standards, is respected by producers and buyers of cotton around the world.

 

Natural Organic Wool

Cool in summer and warm in the winter (as light as the down and easier to clean!)

Organic cotton =comfort
True to his personal philosophy to foster an environment free of toxic, Green LEEPonly buys the cotton picked by hand without chemicals.

To the soul of our natural rubber mattresses, it begins with the liquid rubber –
the sap or « milk » of Hevea brasiliensis, rubber tree current, harvested byindependent farmers in North Malaysia.

Why informed consumers today choose organic cotton

Organic cotton products Green Sleep offers superior characteristics:

Softness and sumptuousness – for those unique qualities or those with sensitive skin
Absorbance and breathable, maximizing air circulation and minimizing perspiration
Without chemicals, and gas evolution that can produce fumes while sleeping
Greater resilience in terms of form, color and texture
Organic cotton provides an excellent return on your investment. Quality begets quality.

Wool for its thermal

The fleeces of Green Sleep is processed without the use of chemicals, dyes, oils or bonding agents. The resulting wool does not contain residual processing and also holds a 4% to 6% lanolin, which is a natural repellent to dust mites. In addition, during the transport of our processed wool, we do not allow the use of plastic, rope or ball moth balls.

The harvest of our pure wool

The wool that is used in products derived from Green Sleep fleece of a small island in the Netherlands named Texel.
There, a family business is proud of its organic production methods. Their sheep are being farmed advocating a healthy life without drugs. They are examined daily to check their health. In summer, we send graze sheep in the meadows without pesticides or harmful chemicals that have been reserved solely for agricultural purposes for generations. In winter, sheep barn, enjoy a clean, well ventilated and heated, where you change the litter every day and their food, which comes from a biological non rationed. It is thus not surprising that the result is a high quality fleece to mow. The fleece of these animals are superior to others in terms of luster, resilience, strength, the wicking and natural oils, not to mention the longevity of the fiber and its natural resistance to moisture .

The fleece shorn from live animals are carefully sorted and washed in hot water with vegetable-based soaps (no detergents, chemicals or chlorine bleach) to keep up the strength and resilience of the fibers.

Like the Green Sleep organic cotton, wool Green Sleep meets the highest organic standards of quality in the industry. Our wool meets the requirements of Oeko-Tex 100 certification of Oeko-Tex Association in Switzerland.

Why do well-informed consumers today are choosing natural wool

Natural wool provides the following unique advantages:

Resilience in terms of the shape for comfort, durability and appearance
Cool in summer and warm in winter (as light as the down but easier to clean)
Absorbance exceptional absorbs moisture to 35% of its own weight without being wet to the touch (excellent for the improvement of night sweats)
Natural mite repellent
Natural flame retardant
Natural rubber for flexibility, resilience and minimal compaction

Green Sleep uses only natural rubber Class A support for the soul at the center of his mattress. Natural rubber is an ideal choice for flexibility and stability combined with superior comfort and support. Like organic cotton and wool Green Sleep Natural Rubber Green Sleep contributes to excellent control of heat and moisture.

Harvesting of natural rubber

To the soul of our natural rubber mattresses, we start with liquid latex – the sap or « milk » of Hevea brasiliensis, rubber tree common – planted by independent farmers in North Malaysia. For years, these farmers upgrade their organic farming methods in collaboration with the National Institute of Rubber in Kuala Lumpur.After many years of careful selection, the Malaysian plantation workers have managed to get the milk plant that may be suitable rubber poured into mattress cores of different degrees of firmness.

The souls of Green Sleep Natural Rubber from our own tree farm. Is applied to the seedlings to give a graft seed North Malaysia 600, which produces rubber, the purest and most resilient of all. « 600 North Malaysia » is a proprietary process to Green Sleep.

As might be expected, no latex, fiberfill or herbicides are used during growth and harvest.

Since the raw milk of rubber destabilizes when it is stored too long, Green Sleep has taken steps to ensure that the milk is turned into a rubber plantation near. In fact, by transforming raw milk from the rubber tree the day of harvest, it avoids the use of chemical stabilizers.

The milk harvested rubber is poured in the morning leaves in the afternoon and the leaves are shipped shortly after the establishment of the Canadian Green Sleep. To manufacture our rubber to the spot where the milk is harvested from the tree is not only a healthy choice for the environment but also a cost-effective choice.
This production method also helps the local economy. Jobs are created without depleting natural resources.

Why today’s informed consumer chooses natural rubber

It is not known generally that Hevea milk contains an antibacterial substance that acts as a repellent to dust mites. Natural rubber made from this unique substance is also breathable and insensitive to temperature. This is why it is never moist or warm. Furthermore, it also contributes to the following properties of our products Green Sleep:

Maintaining the shape and firmness to support stable year after year
Durability and elasticity for the longevity of the mattress
Flexibility and stability for unparalleled comfort
Excellent control of heat and moisture Natural
Upper air circulation for the prevention of mold growth
Note that at the end of useful life of a mattress, natural rubber starts to degrade as it is a biodegradable vegetable substance. But this decomposition takes place only after years of well-being from your Green Sleep mattress and box spring.

MATTRESS-NATURAL PRODUCT COMPOSITION of natural latex mattresses mattress GREEN BIO ORGANIC RUBBER without Chemical Products. Mattress Patented

WHY A natural latex mattresses GREEN BIO
GREEN SLEEP?

Many people today have physical problems, skin sensitivities, asthma and allergicunexplained.
The many chemical sensitivities increase in people every day by hundreds of thousands of cases reported by Health Canada.

Ask yourself what you breathe in your sleep?

Do you ever come to mind that all your problems of skin sensitivity and respirations were just lying to you all night?
Mites, bacteria, oil, toxic glue, polyurethane, synthetic latex ect … the list goes on.

Non-toxic

Most people sleep one third of their lives on mattresses and bed textiles that canharm them!

Synthetic raw materials, as among other polyurethane foams and latex SBR artificial, does not only result in a mattress that is too inelastic, but may in addition, in certain circumstances, release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that canpotentially be toxic skin or lungs.
Treatment of delayed ignition resulting in even more chemicals and furtherincreasing the danger.

The list of chemicals added is supplemented by the anti-moth, anti-stain, anti-wrinkling and even anti-allergy.

In the field of textile, bed toxic dyes and formaldehyde are the most serious offenders. In addition, sleeping on synthetic material is so comfortable and certainly less relaxing.

Synthetic materials do not absorb perspiration and not heat the body as natural materials. Chapter « Sleep and Health » that you read our body detoxifies during deep sleep. The textile bed, the mattress cover and mattress core mustcompletely absorb the perspiration, while the body heat must be transported.

Only the best materials to guarantee organic farming climate of sleep most beneficial.

Organic Hevea

1. Why choose organic rubber?

A mattress core is ideal in theory extremely elastic and non-deformable. Spring mattresses and water mattresses have either a compression or collapse of elasticity reduced more where there is more weight.

For over 20 years, I was engaged in the production of foam mattresses latex. They are already more elastic than other mattresses, but the elasticity is determined by the amount of natural rubber used in the polymer blend. Ideally, I would make onlya mattress core Hevea natural rubber, but it was impossible or difficult to achieve in Europe and America because of the lack of fresh Hevea milk.

The foam mattress that we knew were made of polyurethane or synthetic polymerlatex SBR, Styrene Butadiene Rubber. These are obtained by complex chemical processes from petroleum. The synthetic latex mattress that we knew were already enriched with natural rubber to increase their elasticity. This natural rubber mixed with a lot of volatile alkali was transported in liquid form from Asia andtropical Africa. It was painful because we never received the same quality.Imagine that you had to produce the same wine in California with an arbitrary mixture of grapes in France.

2. Natural Latex

In Europe, we could make so-called mattress’ latex nature « , but the compositionshould always be adapted. The polymer blend of SBR synthetic latex and natural rubber had to be supplemented with other materials for a finished product always equal with regard to the extent and firmness. Usually, the best ratio of polymer orrubber was 80% natural rubber and 20% of SBR rubber, but with the addition offillers to correct and vulcanizing materials, the finished product contained only 60% of natural rubber. So, a mattress 80% of natural rubber contained only 60% natural rubber! It was far from our ideal.

3. Natural rubber from Hevea

Ideally, a mattress should consist of more than 90% natural rubber and rubber to be perfectly isotropic, ie d. elasticity is the same in all directions. This product is alsobreathable and insensitive to temperature. This is why it is never moist or warm.Examples of other products which are widely used natural rubber condoms arerubber, the tires of an aircraft or a formula, balloons for meteorological stations …anything that has to be extremely resilient and stable.

To make this mattress core made ​​of 100% natural rubber to rubber, we neededmilk plant rubber and similar expenses and know-how innovative. So it had to be done in the country of origin of the Hevea milk. But what is this hevea milk and where to find the best soul of a mattress?

4. Hevea Brasiliensis

HEVEA BRASILIENSIS is the name of a rubber tree. As the name implies, the tree was discovered in 1736 in the Amazon region by the French explorer Charles Marie de la Condamine(1701-1775) who reported the rubber as a curiosity.

Around the world, there are trees that secrete a liquid when they are injured or damaged by insects. This fluid prevents clotting that mold or bacteria enter the tree.

As the resin of pine or maple sap, a milk plant, also known as latex flows from theHevea brasiliensis or rubber tree, which hardens to a rubbery mass. A pharmacistdiscovered that English can be used to erase the pencil. The name of the rubber(rubber) also comes from the English verb « to rub » rubbing. This rubber is mainlyelastic and waterproof.

In 1839 it was discovered that the rubber and sulfur by heating, the so-calledvulcanization process, produce a rubber that is strong and solid at temperaturesfrom 0 to 100 ° C.

Since then, this product is used for making waterproof textiles, tires for bicycles and cars, chewing gum, painting … and even condoms.

Rubber became an important industrial product. Needs rubber became so important that we built plantations in other parts of the world. Especially the English, who sent the young plants in their tropical colonies in Asia such as SriLanka and Singapore. The Portuguese plantation implanted primarily in Central Africa. The tree survives in effect only in a very humid and hot. To harvest the milkplant is cut out in the cambium of the tree. And the pockets of latex are cut and the milk flows out. Under the injury, we fix a container in which milk plant is collected.Can be left to coagulate the milk, or you can add a little ammonia to keep the fluid milk. The coagulated rubber is dried and compressed to make shoes, boots, insulation or building material. For mattresses, we need liquid latex. It is purchased for Green Sleep Malaysia North to independent farmers, who for years planted these trees selected in cooperation with the National Institute of Rubber in Kuala Lumpur. As for apples, peppers, wine, is applied to the plant about a transplant from mother to still get the same tree. After a long selection, we get the milk for several years to plant rubber trees still appropriate to melt mattress coresare identical in the different degrees of firmness.

5. Milk of Hevea

Plantations which our milk comes from plants do not use growth promoters, pesticides or insecticides. The wood bottom is removed by hand if necessary. In some areas of sheep and goats graze under the trees. In addition to our certificateQUL, Qualitäts Umweltfreundlicher Latexmatratzen institute Öko-Umwelt in Cologne, Germany, the plantations were checked as to working conditions andenvironment-friendly aspect. The cultivation of vegetable milk rubber is completely organic.

Pull hevea milk has now become the work of women. This is the second family income. Prices are set cooperatively every day.

Today, the price of rubber and especially milk plant rubber is very high. In addition to the world price rises due to growing demand, the price is fixed according to theabove daily wage. When you know that we must have about 40 hours to collecte nough milk to produce a rubber of our mattresses …

6 . Transformation process

Hevea milk is delivered fresh and centrifuged under the same certificate ISO2004. The solid material is separated from the water. This solid is mixed by acomputer-controlled complex program, with air and a minimum + / ​​- 5%,vulcanizing and other materials such as sulfur, zinc oxide, accelerator andantioxidant . None of these added materials is toxic! On this subject, please referto tests and certificates that you find below.

It therefore adds no fillers. The mixture is injected into molds aluminum ankleswhile returning the heat of 90 ° C in the body.

After about 90 minutes of oven, the mattress core is removed from the mold curedand washed. At Green Sleep, this cleaning is very intense. The souls of 15 cm up to 7 times are watered and compressed up to 1 cm. In a centrifuge, the souls are cleaned again, until all the soap scum and all odors are gone. The abundant waterfor this process must be completely sterile. After drying, the mattress core ORGANIC HEVEA is controlled at the firm and receives a label stating its origin and production data. Certificate « AOC » and a number are also with the mattress core. Thus the product is fully traceable! These mattress cores are sent to theGreen Sleep plant in Europe and Canada for further treatment. This production process gives us the best mattress cores that can be made ​​today. In the field of ecology, plantations and crops are well below any non-polluting. For production ofeven the mattress core, we need the same amount of energy that was used for other mattress cores.

7. Warning

The only problem is the so-called latex allergy to the protein of 1%, culprit, theHevea milk contains. Only a small proportion of the population is concerned.Generally, latex allergy occurs in individuals who as a child did not tolerate breast milk or any dairy product.

If latex allergy, contact with a mattress core covered after a few hours causes redspots on the skin and begins to suffocate. If this happens, we return the mattress inthe store room to the purchase price. On an annual basis than 15,000 mattresses, we must take about four. It does not often. If you want more information, see latexallergy, implications for patients and Health care workers [latex allergy, the implications for patients and medical staff.

In several countries of the Third World, the mattress 100% natural latex are handcrafted. They serve primarily the local market. Their product often has acrumbly structure and is much too hard. The durability and hygiene conditions in which this product was manufactured are not acceptable for use West. Especially rinsing is often contaminated. We find these products regularly on the Western market. They are often sold at prices bumper « factory direct » to business post office box or lounges. These products severely damage the reputation of « natural products ».
