Study Finds Pillows are Breeding Ground for Infectious Superbugs

Pillows at home and in hospitals have been overlooked as breeding grounds for infectious germs -- including superbugs -- according to a UK study, cited by The (London) Times on Wednesday.

The study revealed that after two years of use, more than than one third of a pillow's weight is made up of living and dead dust mites, dust mite feces, dead skin and bacteria.

Wow! I think I will buy a new pillow every year! What about you?
