Handwashing to Prevent Swine Flu and Infection
Today there is a new strain of influenza circling the globe. Dubbed the H1N1 (Swine Flu) Influenza, it is a close cousin to the H1N1 Spanish Flu that circled the globe in 1918, killing an estimated 50 million victims...more than the total who died in World War I. On June 11, 2009 the World Health Organization raised its pandemic warning level to level 6, the highest level it has, indicating that the world is now in the grips of an unstoppable pandemic.
Most cold and flu viruses are spread by direct contact. Someone who has the flu sneezes onto their hand, and then touches the telephone, the keyboard, a kitchen glass. The germs can live for hours -- in some cases weeks -- only to be picked up by the next person who touches the same object. So wash your hands often.
Every time you touch an object that others have touched you stand the risk of being infected. If someone carrying the virus sneezes in a room, everything will be contaminated. You can easily become infected by just rubbing your eyes or by touching your lips.
It's important to know how to wash your hands.
If you looked at your fingers under a microscope your finger prints would resemble deep canyons. They make ideal places for the flu virus to settle. Just running some water over your hands and giving them a cursory wash only removes the viruses that are on the surface. The ones that lurk deep in the canyons of your finger prints and the creases of your palms need to be scrubbed out with soap and running water, for at least 20 seconds. (Hum Happy Birthday to yourself twice as you wash.)
Afterwards you need to thoroughly rinse the soap away because it will contain trapped pathogens.
Even Better Than Washing...
Let's face it. When a pandemic hits you're not going to be near soap and water when you most need it.
That's why we strongly urge you to consider using hand sanitizers.
It's absolutely vital that you clean your hands whenever there is the risk of contamination.
When to Use
After coughing, sneezing, or blowing your nose Cheaper than gloves
More convenient than washing
You'll be safer because it's so easy to use
Even the kids will use it
Buy enough for the whole family

Vira-Block is an Extra Strength Hand Antiseptic that effectively kills 99.99% of hand transmitted germs that may cause illness, in 30 seconds or less!
Just $9.60
per 4 oz spray bottle
A proven difference in protection against infection.
Vira-block is a patented hand antiseptic, clinically proven effective in testing successfully against over 25 microorganisms as required by FDA Protocol #333.470. Vira-block demonstrated activity that is fast-acting in killing a broad spectrum of bacteria, fungi, and viruses transmitted by hands. Testing protocols require vitro and vivo testing methods to confirm anti-microbial activity.
Vira-Block is intended for external use only; under absolutely no circumstances should it be taken internally. If a significant portion is accidentally ingested, call 911 or your local Poison Control Center immediately. Perhaps the most significant precaution we can suggest is that you understand that protecting your hands and skin from pathogens does not mean that you are completely free from them. Vira-Block can substantially reduce your overall risk of contracting disease, but it is not a panacea. Used properly and conscientiously, it will provide a meaningful measure of protection against the transmission of disease-causing micro-organisms from your environment to you.
Use Vira-Block at home and in the office. Use it on your hands and to spray surfaces.

We've looked at a few of the hand sanitizers out there and these are the two that we like the best. Vira-Block is actually a hand antiseptic which has been tested against over 25 micro-organisms, including the H5N1 bird flu virus. It has been clinically proven to be 15 times more effective than most gel sanitizers such as Purell.
We bought this product to have on hand in the event of a flu pandemic, but it protects against much more than that. It's also effective against gram negative bacteria, gram positive bacteria, MRSA, E-coli, enterococcus (VRE), candida albicans, hepatitis A & C, RSV, HIV, herpes simplex 1 & 2, rotavirus, and polio.
Its moisturizing formula doesn't dry out your hands, and actually leaves them feeling silky. Smells nice, too.
Although it comes as a liquid, a liquid gel, and a spray, the version we're offering is the spray. We happen to like it best because not only can you use it to clean your hands, you can use it to spray doorknobs, shopping cart handles, faucets, etc.
For real ease of use we happen to prefer gelFAST 2GO. Its Clip-On design makes it very, very convenient and using it just becomes automatic.
How many would you need? That's really hard to tell because it depends on how often you'll be venturing outside during a pandemic. If you expect to be continuing in a job, then you might go through a couple of bottles per week. If you're basically in voluntary quarantine at home, you might be able to get by on one bottle for the entire duration. We're planning on having a healthy supply of both products on hand because, like facemasks, they'll be extremely difficult to obtain during a pandemic and would also make excellent trading items.
