  The column 1 “A tick and the condition of the rooms in modern houses

For half a century, people have put priority only on the immediate conveniences and comfortable life. As a result everything surrounding us becomes unnatural.. Under such unnatural condition, people tend to feel uneasiness toward the future, or anxiousness for the environmental destruction, and even start suffering from the environment-related disease. This is an undeniable fact.

Recently the number of ticks inside the houses has surprisingly increased. The chemical housing materials and high air tightness are considered to be the main cause of the increase. The average number of ticks in one house is said to be from several tens million to several hundreds million. The invisible tick's excrement, molted skin, and the remains contaminate the air of the houses. This is the cause of the dust allergy.

More than 50 years ago, there were no environment-related diseases at all. In those days, people wormed themselves by burning kneaded charcoals inside of the houses in cold winter season. Today, it is dangerous to fire charcoal inside of the house. Because the room is so airtight that emitted gas would be fulfilled inside. Then why in those days could they use them? The recent study proves that Shoji and Fusuma (paper-sliding doors made of WASHI) absorbed minute harmful materials and biodegrade them.

SASAWASHI products have the same effect as that of Japanese paper. So if you use the SASAWASHI products for curtains, wall papers, clothes of the chairs, sheets, pillows, blanket, covers of futon mat, the air in the house will be biodegraded and purified. In fact, SASAWASHI curtain prevents dew condensation. As a result, it hardly grows moldy. The rooms become mold free and clean. And then ticks no longer grow.

Recently it is said that the healthy products including mats which have the power of removing the ticks sell well. I believe that to purify the air in the room and to make clean space where ticks no longer grow is the better solution than to remove the ticks once gathered. This will be the basic countermeasure.
