“After six years helping allergy sufferers, we were disappointed with the allergy relief bedding market,” says McDonald, “so we created our own superior fabric—Allergy Armor.”

This allergy season, achoo! Allergy will send their allergic customers a gift with the purchase of every Allergy Armor allergy relief bedding package. The package will contain a dust mite—just one.

It’s not a real dust mite, though. The soft toy dust mite measures five inches long, thousands of times larger than an average dust mite, and it is guaranteed not to leave behind any allergenic waste particles or to cause any allergic reactions.

“Dust mites are not a topic people find entertaining,” says McDonald. “But it can be helpful to have a sense of humor about them—especially after they are gone.”

Dust mites are the most common cause of year-round allergy and asthma problems. Eighty percent of allergy sufferers are allergic to dust mites. These microscopic organisms inhabit bedding, feeding on dead skin cells while leaving behind their allergenic waste particles. Depending on the age of a mattress, it may house between one and ten million dust mites, and every ten years the weight of an average mattress doubles due to dust mite infestation.

AchooAllergy.com offers a wide variety of scientifically proven allergy relief and environmental control products. Located in Atlanta, GA, the company is in its sixth year of operation.

Allergy Armor product samples are also available.
