The mouthwash needs to be at least 65 % alcohol.

Listerine is 65 %.

Dr. Tichenor’s is 70 %.

Does your mouthwash have alcohol in it?

If not it probably won’t work as per the original study.

My Dad and my wife’s Dad were addicted to Listerine, which might explain why they didn’t catch the 1918 flu.

In 1879, Dr. Lawrence created Listerine – a mouthwash used for cleaning mouths and sterilizing surgical wounds. By 1895, Listerine was sold to Lambert Pharmaceutical Co. and dentists began to observe the cleaning power of the mouthwash.

What this MIGHT mean for us, is that baby shampoo is an effective cleaning product to use against the virus?

Since it is very difficult to find sanitizers of late, and they tend to be very expensive, this could be very helpful.

JMHO

Well sure, it’s basically hand sanitizer for your mouth. Mostly alcohol, kills lots of stuff. Of course that’s really only if you’ve got the bug sitting in your mouth and haven’t actually gotten it into your system yet.

I have bad seasonal sinus issues, and have been recommended by an ENT to use those power flushing sinus rinses (way better than nelli pot). Sometimes I have gotten sinus infections that required me to flush with a prescription called Wilsons Solution that was an antibiotic, just to get rid of the infection.

My primary doc suggested I flush with diluted baby shampoo, and it seemed to work just as good.

this has been out for awhile- but the ingredients need to be the ones in colgate total or others- is Cetylpyridinium Chloride - they had some nasal inhaler that they found killed the virus with this ingredient, and immediately took it off the market to ‘test it’ the name was ‘Halo’ i believe-

Antiviral oral spray to undergo testing for prevention of coronavirus infection

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2020/04/02/coronavirus-halo-oral-spray-tested-infection-prevention/5111556002/

Colgate total and other mouthwashes have that ingredient too- it’s easy to use- we keep sum in the car and use it immediately before going into stores or whatever- if it doesn’t work- oh well- whatever- at least we’;ll have good smellin breath- if it does work to help prevent the virus- then great- it’s a win win-

that ingredient plus alcohol will be a double whammy- aqnd i think there is another ingredient in the mouthwash that ‘binds’ the virus, preventing it form going any further- then the ingredient mentioned above, Cetylpyridinium Chloride, does it’s ‘magic’ - supposedly, according to early reports on it-
