Flu season is going strong. It can spread easily and for people
who are already sick, it can be deadly. Now, there's a tool in the
fight against influenza. Sure you can get a flu shot now but you won't be getting them during a survival situation.
But good news! Doctors have developed a mask that can actually kill flu viruses on contact. Unlike regular masks, it has extra protections against influenza
viruses and it can be used in the hospital or by patients who have no
medical problems. Doctors say the mask is very effective.
Infection Control Specialist Dr. Lawrence said, "The mask is very
efficient at screening out or filtering out at least 95 percent of the
particulate that we can breathe in. It wicks up the virus if it's on the
mask and it kills it before it can infect the patient."
The bio mask can be bought in drugstores.They are intended for surgeons and patients in hospitals, but if you
have an underlying disease and want to protect yourself, this could be a great choice. I'm going to hunt for some next week so stay tuned to see if I can find any.
