Defend Yourself Against the Swine Flu (H1N1) Virus

With the recent outbreak of the H1N1 Swine Flu virus, now more than ever do we need to look after our personal protection against the threat of germ transmission. Alcohol based hand sanitizers may be effective in killing this virus, but only to a certain extent. Alcohol stays active on your hands for only up to 5 seconds, and it dries and cracks your skin, making you more susceptible to contracting the virus. Fortunately, there is a better product on the market today. PureWorks First Aid Antiseptic Foam and Lotion contains no alcohol, and it contains moisturizer to help moisturize and condition your skin. This leads to healthier skin which further defends against contracting germs. What’s more, the active ingredient is benzethonium chloride, whose properties allow the component to stay on your skin for hours fighting germs.
