INSPECTING YOUR HOME...

- Check your mattress for any visible damage, such as tears, holes, or exposed areas. Fiberglass may be present if the mattress cover or inner layers are compromised.

-Use a flashlight to look around for shiny, translucent fibers on or around the mattress and on dark materials and clothing. The fibers will shine.

-Clumps of the fibers may resemble white cat hair.

- Inspect nearby surfaces, such as floors, walls, or furniture, for any visible traces of fiberglass particles. Fibers can become airborne and settle on surrounding areas.

- Pay attention to any unusual itching, irritation, or stinging sensations when you come into contact with your mattress or sleep in your bed. Fiberglass particles can cause skin discomfort.

- Check your sheets and clothing for any clingy or prickly sensations that could be caused by fibers from the mattress. Use a flashlight.

Monitor the air quality in your home. Fiberglass particles can become airborne and circulate in the environment.

- If you notice an increase in respiratory issues, such as coughing, sneezing, or difficulty breathing, it may be worth investigating the possibility of fiberglass contamination.

-Pay attention to your animals. They will usually be the first to display symptoms such as sneezing, exrtemely itchy (biting stratching themselves) , excessive blinking, whining, discomfort, strange behavior, excessive stretching, constantly rubbing up against things, chocking or hacking when drinking, eating, chewing on chew toys or bones.
