Just Another Herd Creature

“Which is healthier: the dust inside, or the dust outside?

The outside stuff is actually healthier.  Household dust is just plain icky: it contains flecks of sand and other natural particulates, but also bits of dead insects, human skin, animal fur, even tiny remnants of food.  Worst still the dust spawns a completely specialized life form: the creepy critter called the dust mite, the cause of many allergies and, it is believed of a significant number of asthma cases.”

Therefore, hunting and destroying dust bunnies is a good thing!  Me thinks it’s time to run the “move and clean the air” part of our heating/AC system on a more regular basis.  Our house is old enough and we haven’t replaced all the windows (yet), that I think we get a fair amount of outside air exchange – our PG&E bill during the cold months probably supports this.
