Here's a little diversion to think about: An average person sheds enough skin cells each day to add about one pound per year to a mattress. So, two people sharing the same bed for ten years will have deposited about 20 pounds of dead skin into their mattress! Plus, skin cells are a food source for dust mites. Sorry for any nightmares these thoughts might cause!
