Bird flu
Natural comforters are filled with feather and down coming from duck and down. The animals that belong to bird family have acquired a bad reputation in the last years because of the bird flu.
Some countries like Canada have communities dedicated to breed these birds outdoors, far from any farm of chicken or pigs. These warranties a lower risk of infection of birth flu.
Nevertheless, in the presence of the risk, these northern countries make regular tests to manufacturers so sanitary quality of feathers and down is guaranteed. Down can not come from a sick animal (no matter what desease is involved) and then it is not harvested since the beginning.
In prouction leader countries like Canada, feather and down are washed 14 times with water near to boiling point, dried and ventilated. Ultra-fresh treatments on these materials guarantee an uninfected and sterile product. An official canadian label (that shows the product is in comformance with all norms) demonstrate that this product is anti-acarus, anti-bacteria and of course, it is not an infection agent.
