Infection control nonsense
I read with interest a previous posting regarding elimination by a fresh air machine of 'superbugs' in hospitals. Maybe so but it's important to make sure that claims can be verified. In the UK there have been a number of potions and lotions that have received a huge amount of publicity that have subsequently been found to be making false claims. Any product should be tested and accredited by approved testing laboratories, the MHRA or the UK HPA or even the NHS. It's dangerous and irresponsible to make claims just ot make a fast buck. Healthcare facilities have enough on their plate trying to reduce infection rates without having to put up with nonsense from unscrupulous traders. I've been involved with infection control issues for may years and while there are some very good new products out there I would advise caution before believing anything.
