With the recent news about Swine Flu making a global journey, the news makes it obvious that easy travel has a great deal to answer for. Animals and plants are restricted across borders, but humans are free to go where ever and when ever.
It has become well known that you don't drink tap water in certain climates and holiday makers take appropriate precautions on holiday to drink safe water. At home we know to treat meat, salad and cheese with certain precautions to avoid food poisoning. It only takes the same level of precaution to reduce the risk of catching colds and flu viruses.
Around half of Flu cases are caught by touching the eyes and mouth with the infection on the fingers and hands. This is picked up in public, in the home or in the office quite easily from any surface that has been contaminated by a cough or sneeze or by someone with contaminated hands touching the same.
This simple fact simply implies that improved hygiene should drastically reduce the chances of catching flu from surface contact. On the other hand, chemicals and antibiotics leading to Superbugs have led people to believe that hygiene is often the cause of more problems that it cures.
People excuse hygiene by saying that over cleaning reduces our immunity to many things. Agreed, plus when chemicals are used to clean, polish, descale and disinfect the home, they are often toxic and cause other problems on top for example dermatitis, asthma and allergies. They are unsafe to use around babies and pets and often unpleasant to handle and shouldn't be used near food.
Alcohol cleansers and hand rubs kill bacteria and viruses in under a minute. Alcohol however dries on the hands in around 15 seconds - before it has had time to kill some of the more deadly bacteria. It stings in cuts and causes dermatitis when used regularly. You wouldn't use it on a baby!
This means people are taking chances and catching unnecessary Flu and colds then end up taking antibiotics instead. Sure not every case can be avoided for example if someone sneezed directly nearby in a closed environment, many cases can still be caught by airborn viruses.
Antibiotics begin by killing the weaker bacteria and viruses first and then gradually the stronger ones. By the time we have finished a course of antibiotics, any remaining bugs that reproduce are more robust and this is what leads over time to super bugs. This also accounts for the antibiotics used in farming and the resistance that animals and humans are building to them means it is even more important to take every precaution against catching flu and colds to begin with.
NewGenn is a very simple solution. Technology made from a single natural plant provides an antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal cleanser and disinfectant in one that kills even MRSA "on contact". Because NewGenn does not contain alcohol or solvents, it does not dry too quickly, helping break the microbial cycle more effectively and making it kind to skin.
NewGenn was designed for hospital use on premature babies and therefore is absolutely safe to use around the home and on the whole family. Medically approved, NewGenn is available in concentrate, wipes, foam hand rub, foam hand wash and more making it easy to apply to home and personal hygiene for the whole family.
Because NewGenn so versatile and is Chemical Free, it radically reduces the number of chemicals you need to use around the home, making it a healthy hygiene routine. Used in combination with microfibre cloths it makes the perfect eco-friendly cleaning option.
I know from personal experience, given the choice between using a safe and pleasant cleaner/disinfectant to protect my family and the choice of catching colds and flu - risking antibiotics in the long run - I'd choose NewGenn every day.
