How often to change your bed sheets? What's growing on them?

You may thing that popping sheets in the wash every three or four weeks in enough, but it's definitely not! New research has proven that bacteria linked to pneumonia and gonorrhea starts growing in your bed within 7 days. Last year Time4Sleep conducted a survey that said one in four of us wait as long as a month to wash our bed sheets. So the University of Seville's Dept. of Biology did an experiment to see what a four-week-old bed sheet revealed under the microscope. An alarming list of dangerous bacteria was growing inside the Petri dishes. There were Bacteroides which have been linked to peneumonia, gonorrhea and appendicitis. Also found was fusobacteriales, known to cause throat infections leading to Lemierre's syndrome and neisseriales, which can cause gonorrhea.
