The H1N1 swine flu virus has caused the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare a “public health emergency.” “This virus has, clearly, a pandemic potential,” says Margaret Chan, director general of WHO. Why? The virulent new H1N1 swine flu strain spreads quickly and efficiently from human to human. It’s “a completely novel virus,” says the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). This latest variant is a mixture of human virus, bird virus, and pig viruses from all over the world. Experts say it’s particularly worrisome because people are getting sick without any encounters with pigs. Even worse, young, healthy people (ages 20-40) are dying at a striking rate, a telltale sign of the worst flu epidemics.
Sanitize – To avoid infections, hand hygiene is the single best thing you can do (if you’re going to go out into the world and interact with other human beings). The CDC estimates that 80 percent of all infections are spread by hands. If you can’t wash your hands with soap and water regularly, try SafeHands!
SafeHands formulation, which uses natural oils, kills more germs than alcohol and independent tests conducted at California State University Fresno demonstrated SafeHands formulation to be superior to alcohol based hand sanitizers. It Kills MRSA too.
