b4 ig et booted off computer, must let you all know: last nite while in basement doing laundry, i saw another one of those fuzz-spider-balls dashing around the pile of clothes on floor. when i looked closer i realised that there was a DOWN COMFORTER, MADE IN CHINA, PURCHASED AT WALMART FEW MOS AGO--with a tear in the lining, and several more smaller fuzz spider balls were exiting the lining of the blanket!!!! with tenctacles doing the fiber dance!!! i swear this is enough to send me back to a dr to beg for something to drug me up--but anyways!!--i watched, dumbfounded, for a few minutes, almost paralyzed with disbelief and a feeling of, "HOW IN THE HELL COULD THIS BE POSSIBLE?? WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE? " ETC.... i almost called my oldest down to see it but i really didnt want to scare him so i took a deep breath, scooped the blanket into a garbage bag and threw it straight to trash--it was one of the few linens remaining after my " cotton purge" a few mos. back--because i had msitakenly thought that, altho there is some fiber worm running loose in COTTON items from china, down filling should be okay!! WRONG!!--THESE @#$%ERS WERE SNARLED UP IN THE TINY FEATHERS OF THE LINING-- i dont want to scare anyone but on the other hand, what the @#$%??!!! from now on, i am not buying ANYTHING MADE IN CHINA...this is really getting out of hand...

I am so glad you have the courage to say what you saw. I know the beginning of our nightmare starts with this thing, but the cotton vectored with the en-hanced growth worm is from the U.S. shipped to China( no sterilization there). The workers there look horrible face all poucked, with a bad mite infestation as the worm eats these I am sure, and the Drs there are working to help them. The thing is real bad. I now only wear polyester or or linen, and try not to use cotton from US or China, Turkish and Egypt is their own I believe. But I stopped itching all night in a silky fabric gown, like a caftan instead of my tried and true cotton favorites. I look at the fibers on the Navy blue t-s and stuff and I iron if I have to wear these. Good luck, get some windex and spray everywhere in a few weeks they will be gone. thanks Guest

customs should cook all imports at 130 degrees 20 minutes minimum mandatory before releasing. I read you can do this to your house to get rid of bed bugs. Tape all the doors and windows on outside so nothing can escape. Important: Do not admit to anything if the house catches on fire just kidding. It's your business what you admit to AND what you do Spec

Hi, not use to the new upgrades, hope I am doing this correctly.
I have a good experience with a 100% organic cotton pillow I bought, with a cover designed to protect you from dust mites (seems to protect you from this cotton thing too).
Until Iwas able to buy a new bed, my doctor told me to wrap my mattress and box springs in heavy duty aluminum foil-several layers, shinny side up. This helped me so much. Actually it allowed me to finally get a nights sleep. You can do this on furniture also. You may not want to live with it forever, but it really helped me until I could purchase safer products and furnishings. Tip: several layers of sheets over the foil make it more comfortable.
