Allergy Asthma Technology Provides Tips on Staying Healthy during a Severe Flu Season
Allergy free products are effective at killing germs in and around the
home in order to prevent the spread of flu viruses
Doctors from around the
country have predicted this flu season to be the worst one in many years, and are already
diagnosing a number of cases. They say the best way to avoid obtaining the
virus is to get the flu shot. However, not everyone is eligible for the
vaccination, and therefore must use other prevention techniques. Allergy Asthma
Technology’s products use advanced technology to kill germs on the spot, restricting
the spread of the virus.
According to nbc.com,
every year about a fourth of the US population catches the influenza virus, and
an average 36,000 people die from it. Symptoms--fever, chills, aches, cough,
and nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea--can last for a week or two, but can become
serious for individuals with weak immune systems or those with chronic medical
conditions. According to the US Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, the
number of flu cases usually peaks mid-January, but doctors were seeing a high
number of cases in early December, meaning flu season has arrived early this
year. Because of the early arrival, doctors predict it can only get worse. The types of flu viruses that are said to be
going around are H3N2 and H1N1, along with Influenza B, a milder case of the
virus.
Officials say the best
way to prevent obtaining the flu virus is to get a vaccination shot. However,
not everyone is eligible for the vaccination, in which other precautions must
be taken in order to prevent the flu. Individuals should constantly wash their
hands and use a hand sanitizer with an alcohol base, and try not to touch their
faces. UV Sanitizers can be used on surfaces in and around the home to kill
germs on the spot. Allergy Asthma Technology’s UV Sanitizers
use the same technology that has been proven effective in hospitals to create a
sterile environment. An ultra-violet light works to penetrate through the
micro-organisms’ cell membranes in order to damage the DNA. In addition to killing
germs and bacteria, the ultra-violet light kills other micro-organisms such as
allergens, bed bugs, dust mites, and mold bacteria.
Allergy Asthma
Technology provides a number of different types of UV-C sanitizing products
that are effective in disabling the transmission of viruses. Some of the
products are in the form of a wand, such as the Nano-UV Wand Large Area
Disinfection Scanner, that reaches about two feet long, but are contractible,
in order to kill germs on larger surfaces, such as countertops, tables,
bathroom areas, beds, and desks. Other sanitizers, like the Zadro Nano-UV
Disinfection Light Scanner, are compact and can be used on-the-go to disinfect
surfaces anywhere. The Zadro UV Toothbrush Disinfectant Scanner instantly kills
germs that may inhabit tooth brushes for healthy, germ-free brushing every
time. Although the devices contain UV technology strong enough to eliminate
germs from surfaces, they are not strong enough to directly harm human skin.
Such devices are ideal in households with young children or elderly
individuals, for they are more susceptible to the flu viruses.
