不少人在早晨起床後，會有整理床鋪的習慣，但國外一名醫師警告，如果立即鋪床，可能會為大量塵蟎創造理想的繁殖環境，造成人類出現鼻塞、起疹子等過敏反應。
根據外媒《The Daily Dot》報導，梅澤（Mehzer）日前於Tik Tok上傳影片表示，如果早上立即整理床鋪，可能有助於餵養「隱形的怪物」。隨即，他放上一張凌亂、未整理過的床鋪圖片稱，「早上就這樣離開你的床，你的健康會因此而感謝你……無論你有無伴侶，你永遠不是獨自1人睡覺」。
梅澤展示了顯微鏡下大量聚集的塵蟎，說到，「如果你想為牠們創造一個理想的環境，那就準備一張清爽的床，牠們喜歡潮濕，若我們早上整理床舖，這將有助於牠們生存，誕下更多生命」。
梅澤解釋，這些看不見的塵蟎其實是蜱蟲和蜘蛛的近親，不僅喜歡躲在棉被中，還會進入軟墊家具和地毯，藉機吞食人類皮膚的皮屑；而人類可能出現過敏反應，包括持續鼻塞、起疹子等，嚴重時能導致氣喘發作，容易讓人誤以為是花粉過敏，「你可能根本沒有意識到，你對牠們過敏」。
@drsermedmezher They Feast On Us 🤢 bed. High Humidity: Dust mites thrive in environments with high humidity, typically between 70-80%. They absorb water from the air, making moist conditions ideal for their survival and reproduction. Indoor Settings: Common household environments like bedrooms, living rooms, and bathrooms often provide the warmth and moisture that dust mites need. Bedding, upholstered furniture, and carpets are particularly favorable habitats. Nutrient Sources: Human Skin Cells: Dust mites feed primarily on dead skin cells shed by humans and pets. Since people spend a significant amount of time in their homes, especially in their beds, these areas become rich feeding grounds for mites. Other Organic Matter: They also consume other organic materials found in dust, such as pollen, fungi, and bacteria. Allergy Triggers Allergenic Proteins: Fecal Matter and Body Fragments: Dust mites produce waste products and shed body fragments that contain potent allergenic proteins. These proteins can become airborne and inhaled, triggering allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Enzymes: The enzymes in dust mite feces, such as Der p 1 and Der f 1, break down proteins in human skin cells, aiding digestion. These enzymes are significant allergens #allergy #hygiene

至於該如何殺死塵蟎，梅澤博士說明，如果在早上醒來的30分鐘至1個小時不整理床鋪，可讓床保持「乾燥」，一旦失去濕氣，塵蟎的數量就可以降低。
不過，梅澤博士強調，不整理床鋪並不代表就該睡在骯髒的環境中，「每周更換床單是個好主意，最少每2周就要換1次」。
對此，一派網友直言，「還好我很懶」、「我就知道我不想整理床鋪是有理由的」；另一派網友則認為「我的強迫症使我無法這麼做」、「每天早上整理床鋪能讓我保持清醒」。
