In Australia – the facts
- 1 in 10 children & 1 in 10 adults have doctor diagnosed asthma.
- In 2012, 394 people died from asthma.
- Asthma is the major cause of hospitalisation for children.
- Annual health expenditure on asthma is over $693 million.
- The prevalence of asthma is relatively high, by international standards.
- 80% of people with asthma also have allergies.
- 85% of people with asthma are allergic to the house dust mite.
- Dust mite allergy has a significant effect on the development of asthma and the severity of its symptoms.
- The health threat posed by dust mites comes from their faeces (droppings) which contain the allergens. These can become airborne when they are disturbed by vigorous activity such as vacuuming or making the bed. They rise 60 to 90 centimetres into the air and stay there for up to 20-30 minutes. Children are more susceptible to asthma if exposed to these allergens as babies.
The Science
Science is continually revealing more and more about the effects of the environment on our health.
Jellyfish foam is a way to reduce asthma and allergy triggers in your home. Moulds, Mildews, fungus, bacteria and dust mites are proven to be significant triggers for asthma, hay fever and eczema. The foam prevents the growth of bacteria, fungi and the inhibition of dust mites aiming to reduce triggers for eczema, asthma and other allergies in homes.
Scientific tests have compared visual microbial growth and the affect the antimicrobial technologies have on the growth of bacteria. A further test determined the numerical reduction of bacteria activity when tested against antimicrobial technologies. Similar tests were completed for fungi and mildew growth resulting in the sample remaining free from fungal and mildew growth.
