Had a jute rug in my 2 year olds room.for the last month he would get a phlegmy cough at night.took the rug out and it stopped.did the fibers harm him?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dust: Most likely it was the dust that was trapped in the rugs.It is easier to keep a wood floor clean and dust free than a rug.
