Prevent Swine Flu

Posts Tagged ‘swine flu products’

Recent government information is focused on informing the consumer that the most effective method to prevent the spread of H1N1 Influenza (known by most as swine flu) is through the use of their hurried rushed to market vaccine.

While this may be true in the grand scheme of things it does very little to reassure the millions of people who have a hard time trusting vaccinations — and for some an even harder time trusting their government. Beyond the deep concerns we decided to examine the language of the recent news and guidance from the CDC and other authority sources on swine flu.

We found the usage of the phrase ‘most effective method to prevent the spread of H1N1 Influenza’ to be a bit concerning because this seems to suggest the governments primary concern is the prevention of the spread of swine flu. You can read that to mean their main intent it is calm the population and stem fears of a wider spread of this pandemic.

So what about the rest of us? What do we use as a yardstick to determine how effective a solution is — beyond just getting vaccinated? You still have to protect yourself, wash your hands frequently and clean your environment. Right?

Well with the recent news of a registered nurse dying of flu like symptoms we now begin to wonder if the message is also focused on reducng the level of alarm in the healthcare professional community. That begs the question:

What do healthcare workers do to prevent swine flu, or rather, What do healthcare workers do to prevent H1N1?

Considering their fate rest daily in their methods of staying clean and virus free we decided to try and locate the products they use to stay safe on the job and to make sure they do not take deadly illnesses home with them.

Fact #1: Clean Your Environment

Depending on how cold it is (ambient room temperature) a virus deposited on a hard surface by a sneeze or contact transmission can remain alive and viable from 2 hours to up to 48 hours. This can make the healthcare environment a hazardous place to sped your day.  So what do healthcare environmental services use to clean hard surfaces? And can the average consumer get their hands on this product?

The answer is yes.

Although not under the same tradename as the formula sold to hospitals, there is a highly concentrated virucide – bacteriacide – and fungicide that is available to consumers. We tracked down one of these products and are advertising it through our website. We choose not to mention it directly in this article because we do not wish to unfairly favor one product over another. Also there may be other products that are proven effective against h1n1 virus on hard surfaces, but we have independantly confirmed this product is safe, affordable and proven effective against h1n1 swine flu on hard surfaces.Also note that 1 gallon of this concentrate make 64 gallons of virucide – more than enough to clean the average home though the winter season.
