Document Summary
The question that puzzled the ladies what is the ideal time to change bed linen. Bedding can turn into a garden rich in bacteria and fungi, according to philip. Turnow, a professor of microbiology at new york university"s business insider site . These fungi come from sweat, saliva, skin cells, vaginal and urinary secretions, and your bed can also share external microbes coming from animals, dust, lint, dust, and outer material made of sheets. Natural humans sweat an average of 98. 4 liters (26 gallons) of sweat per bed each year, about 8. 2 liters per month, and certainly increases with high temperature and humidity, and this is the best environment for bacteria to grow. There is another reason why bed linen (cover, or bed sheet) is quickly dirty and contaminated away from your behavior or your sweat pattern. Gravity brings all those things to your mattress.
