Does canning food kill the virus? Like if there was an immigrant who didn’t yet know they had ebola and they sneezed on tomatoes they were picking - the fresh tomatoes he sneezed on could kill you but if they were canned they would be safe? If there are illegals sneaking in who may have ebola it’s not a very good time to buy fresh produce or to eat food prepared by somebody else. Or if I’m being paranoid, then when does it reach that point?
Clorox kills the virus? Or at least 20% alcohol? (I think that’s what I read)
The virus has to get in your body through a body opening or a cut? That’s why goggles and a mask are important - to keep the virus from entering the eyes, nose, or mouth?
Reading last night about the prepper ways to try to avoid exposure and how to deal with it if somebody in the family gets it - and then reading today the graphic details of how the disease progresses - I would so badly want to comfort and help my children if this happened to them. I think it would kill me to just do nothing. It makes me think how important it is that my family knows I love them no matter what happens.
I’ve just got a cold but told my husband I’d only kiss him on the cheek because I didn’t want him to get it from me. I can’t imagine what it would be like to watch a family member die from ebola.
If you wear gloves, mask, etc - then do you soak them in clorox before throwing those things away?
Somebody said something about zinc and I forgot to ping myself. Does anybody know anything about zinc - especially if it’s a way to protect or help if exposure may have occurred?
We need to DEMAND that the US close off flights to people from ebola-stricken places unless they’ve been isolated for 21 days and are not infected. We need to DEMAND that the border be closed NOW!
Zinc boosts the immune system, but too much can be toxic. Take Vitamin D3, 3000 IU per day. I totally agree about stopping flights from infected areas, but, gee, think of all the money lost. /sarc. Good luck with that.
