The handi-wipes are pretty close I would think, but the purell type liquids may do a little bit better, that is what we used in the virology lab instead of soap and h2o, killed those deadly little pets I used to play with much better...

Hmmmmmm. If that was the choice for lab work like that, that's a pretty good endorsement. I guess I'll pick some up. It might come in real handy if bird flu should ever get started in this country. If bird flu did happen to become a serious threat, items such as that would probably disappear from the shelves virtually overnight.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
If you have a Sams Club anywhere near, or order from them online, they have their own private label Purell type gel in a gallon jug that you can then refill a little bottle with. The gallon is only about $6/jug last time I bought it. Which is dirt cheap compared to what a bottle of Purell cost. I use it to clean my milk cows udder before milking. That stuff is just great at killing all kinds of creepy crawlies...

PS: It's not a matter of if bird flu comes, it's a matter of when. I keep a pretty close eye on it, since we have laying hens.

That type of soap kills off virus too? I knew it was antibacterial, but I didn't realize it was anti viral as well.crranch wrote:The handi-wipes are pretty close I would think, but the purell type liquids may do a little bit better, that is what we used in the virology lab instead of soap and h2o, killed those deadly little pets I used to play with much better...

Apparently it's not really a soap, it's a disinfectant. Purell contains 62% ethyl alcohol, as the active ingredient.
Wet Wipes contain 0.3% Benzethonium chloride as the active ingredient. According to Wikipedia:

Wet Wipes contain 0.3% Benzethonium chloride as the active ingredient. According to Wikipedia:
Both products claim to "Kill 99.99% of germs", and both products require a rubbing action to use. Maybe we're rubbing the dern things to death. LOL.Benzethonium chloride is a synthetic quaternary ammonium, surfactant, antiseptic, and anti-infective compound used as a topical antimicrobial agent in cosmetics and personal care products like anti-itch ointments and antibacterial moist towelettes and wipes. Benzothonium chloride is also used is the food industry as a disinfectant and preservative. [1]. It has the appearance of an odorless white crystalline hygroscopic powder and has a melting point of 162-164 °C. The compound is moderately soluble in water and is toxic orally because it may cause failure in neuromuscular transmission as a result of pathological disturbance at the myoneural junction.
