Whenever we get grocery deliveries my Mom puts on the gloves and mask(And sunglasses) than clorox’s every item..does NOT bring the bags into the house..as far as the mail we dont take out the mail for 24 hours she also puts on gloves and a mask before opening up anything
Everything delivered to our house goes straight into my ozone box (just what it sounds like — a big box, with an ozone generator inside). I fill the box with about 20,000 X the lethal dose of ozone (no exaggeration) and let it sit for at least a half-hour.
I don’t wear gloves; but, I do use hand sanitizer at every step. I Clorox any parts of my O3 box that I have touched; but, use the O3 to sterilize the items. I think my protocols were better than most hospitals’ for a while.
IMHO, your Mom is on the right track. I might start wearing glasses too. She might want to leave the mail a while longer — AFAIK, the virus can live for up to 3 days on paper or cardboard. With the O3 treatment, I can open things after an hour.
As someone pointed out on an earlier thread, the UVc lightboxes, which are used to sterilize phones, laptops, etc. can also be used to sterilize masks, mail etc. After reading that thread, I ordered a large UVc lamp capable of sterilizing a whole room in 15 to 20 minutes (available on Amazon). Hospitals have been using UVc to sterilize rooms for several years. Recently, I learned that some hospitals are using such a lamp to sterilize masks and other PPE. They put everything in a room, close the door, and fire up the lamp. I might use my lamp for that purpose too when it finally arrives.
A few years ago, I went with a compromised or non-existent immune system for over a year. Apparently, that experience left a mark. I am taking no chances.
LOL My gay uncle once visited our house on the farm driving his brand new 1965 forest green Mustang. He got out of the car and my sister exclaimed, "he cloroxed his hair."
He did not "come out" until many decades later but my Mom said later on before she passed away that there had been tells a couple of other times when he was younger.
we have a lot of ocd types apparently...
