We do not want to compare such beds for convenience and comfort, you can still argue, especially if it were the opportunity to connect not only a person to this dialogue, but also monkeys. The question is different – the purity of such lodges from germs and parasites.
For example, a person’s bed, especially carefully seasoned, literally teeming (it’s good that we don’t see this) from all sorts of microbes, microscopic ticks and other parasites, which many millions can accumulate here, which significantly undermines our health.
And here are primates that are very similar to us (gorillas, orangutans, chimpanzees, bonobos, gibbons), as established University of North Carolina researchers (location research – Tanzania rainforests) are building bed bed (peculiar wood nests) from leaves and branches exclusively for every night. And in such a “bed” is not only germs and ticks, scientists have not even found here fleas and lice, which really wanted to see (literally were sure that they would find them).

Of course, primates do not think about their health at all when arrange such “clean sweats” for themselves. As scientists explain, this essential practice that allows animals to minimize smells attracting predators – an evolutionary advantage of primates in front of other wildlife.
Does the discovery of scientists at the University of North Carolina practical significance for humans? Of course. According to yourself Researchers, a person can easily take over from our brothers lesser experience to arrange a fresh bed for every night. For this, for example, it is enough to hang out sheets, duvet covers, pillowcases after sleeping in fresh air, best of all – in the sun. It’s fast kills any microbes and microscopic in bedding parasites, if any. And do not be afraid that all this is troublesome and most often impossible every day. At least strive to ensure that your bed is clean from all kinds of pests correlated with a bed of chimpanzees or orangutan …
