There is no mistaking you are at the right place: A large sign in the window of HealthKick Nutrition Center, 10174 Maysville Road, lets you know "We Have Ebola Suits."

Step in and on a table just inside the door is a stack of boxes with white Tyvek suits, sizes small, medium, large and extra large. David Morris, owner of the store, said he had already sold 35 of the suits by noon Thursday.

A tall blond enters the store, and Morris helps her determine her size. She buys two suits. One for her and one for her husband. The suits are going for $59.99.

"Better safe than sorry," the woman said as she left the store, suits in hand.

"People who shop here are buying prevention," Morris said, gesturing to the stocked shelves of vitamins, minerals and supplements the store trades in. The suits are just another form of prevention....

1 suit = 1 safe use? What they are buying is a false sense of security.

“The person on the other end wants an extra large. Morris asks if would like one for his wife. The response, Morris said, was his wife could buy her own suit.”

LOL

Talk about a last meal. That’s all their family member will be getting since these suits are supposed to be a one time use.

Suit, shcmoot - what about the air filter/power pack, etc?

What about the decontamination sprays & spray equipment essential before doffing the suit?

Then, what about equipment for the decontamination spray personnel? Or does the suit come with an automatic shower?

That is why I stocked up. Cases of suits, and the rest. Went thru put on and deconstruct protocols with wife today.

Suits, gloves, goggles, and n95 masks. Can easily make the secondary head coverings from 13 gallon trash bags. 1/2 gallon spray pumps for decon with a tacked up plastic area in the garage. Decon buckets for reusables and burn buckets for the rest.

Masks, goggles (non vented), and gloves with decontamination protocols will be fine thru most of this till the shtf.

I’m working on decon protocol now. Pm me urs, or if u want what my thoughts are right now.

Acetic acid will decon a tyvek suit. They call for at least 3% and household vinegar is 5. After a soak, throw it in the dryer on low. Close to good as new.

Acetic acid for 10 min is an Ebola sterilant according to researchers in that field.

Don’t bleach suits in a washer. It will break them down according to my research so far.

You are a marvel. Do you author a blog on your protocols? I want to learn more. Thank-you.

Get a 1/2 gallon hand spray pressure pumps. Also a 5 gallon bucket.

Fill the bucket with 10% household bleach to water and the sprayer.

10 minute wait for sterilization.

Vent the laundry room and wash (shortest cycle hottest water) the tyvek with lots of vinegar. Residual bleach and vinegar will cause toxic gas, but tyvek will survive to fight another day.

They can be disinfected with a spray of diluted bleach. Of course you need a safe spot to do this in, and have the runoff go somewhere that won’t touch you. Outdoor decontamination.

I have been thinking of buying materials (felt, yarn) to make anatomically correct Ebola viruses. One of my friends suggested that I could sell them along with those Ebola PPE kits, and I would make a fortune.

Chlorine gas. Are you trying to reenact WWI?

Article said,"The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has yet to make any recommendations on dietary supplements to help prevent the Ebola virus."

And they never will. The pharmaceutical industry is way too power with government.

Example: My doc prescribed vitamin D for me. The prescription was for artificial Vit D made by the pharmaceutical industry. I refused it and bought natural vit D from the healthfood store, and my next blood test proved that it worked. The Doc, however, recorded on my record that I was uncooperative and would not take the prescribed med.

My medicare supplement insurance would pay for the artificial Vit D but not the natural one.
