The Monster is not under the bed, it’s in it!
That is the catch phrase we use because that is exactly what is happening in over 99% of homes in Barbados today. What we are simply saying is that we should not be so concerned with any imaginary monsters under our beds, but we should be far more concerned with what is in them. Those things which cause Asthma, Sinusitis, Infantile Eczema and generally affect the health and well being of our families.
Sinusitis [taken from www.bbc.co.uk]
Asthma [taken from www.asthma.org.uk ]

Asthma is a condition that affects the airways – the small tubes that carry air in and out of the lungs.


When a person with asthma comes into contact with something that irritates their airways (an asthma trigger), the muscles around the walls of the airways tighten so that the airways become narrower and the lining of the airways becomes inflamed and starts to swell. Sometimes sticky mucus or phlegm builds up which can further narrow the airways.
The sinuses are air-filled cavities in the bones of the face that improve the resonance of the voice. The five pairs of sinuses are interconnected and also connect with the nasal passages. Sinusitis occurs when any of the sinuses become inflamed - a condition that can be acute or chronic
Infatile Eczema [taken from www.allergy-clinic.co.uk]

Infantile eczema, otherwise known as Atopic Dermatitis or Atopic Eczema, is a chronic relapsing itchy disease of the skin. It may commence after the third month of life as a weepy red rash on the face and outer surfaces of arms and legs and then progress in later childhood as a dry scaly itchy rash commonly of the inner creases of the elbows and knees.

House dust mite exposure may exacerbate eczema and levels of these troublesome mites in the bedroom should be reduced with barrier methods...........
