Because itching papules occasionally appeared on people who used feather quilts in Japanese homes, the number and fauna of mites and insects attached to the surfaces and feathers of newly manufactured quilts were compared to those found on used quilts. No difference was found between the number and fauna of mites and insects on the feathers of new and used quilts. However, more Tarsonemidae, Cheyletidae, Acaridae, Pyroglyphidae mites and Psocoptera insects were collected from used quilt surfaces than from those of new quilts at the factory. In previous surveys, these mites and insects have often been collected from floors in Japanese homes. It was concluded that when the quilts were spread on the floors for sleeping Japanese style the cheyletids swarm around to prey upon the Psocoptera insects which came up from the floors because of the smell of the feathers in the quilts. These cheyletids caused papules on the humans.
