We are pretty good at protecting ourselves from things that hurt or potentially hurt us. We see it coming and put up our armor but what about the hurtful things we don’t see – germs and bacteria. I know I personally don’t pay attention to what I touch such as handrails, elevator buttons, remote controls, etc. Now obviously we know it’s there otherwise you wouldn’t find nurses and doctors often wearing disposable face masks when there is a risk of infection or bacteria spreading, but it’s not only in hospitals or medical locations we have to be wary of… Bacteria is everywhere, including your typical supermarket shopping cart – think about it, what else besides your groceries are in your shopping carts? The answer is quite scary and disgusting. Supermarkets have a duty of care to their customers, and ensuring their shops are clean should be one of them. Although injury and accidents are often appropriately dealt with, for example with a Fiesta injury attorney, germs are something that we can’t always prove.
While we use hand sanitizers thinking we’re fully protected, it turns out, we’re not as hand sanitizers only lasts for seconds. But there is a breakthrough hand sanitizing product that provides FOUR HOURS of antibacterial protection from germs and bacteria – Introducing VeriPur, a revolutionary new non-drying, alcohol-free hand sanitizer that kills 99.9% of germs instantly and continues to protect for up to 4 hours after applying. each application of Veripur gives you the hydrating benefits of clinically proven moisturizers-vitamin E and avocado, jojoba, and grapeseed oils. It absorbs quickly and leaves no residue, just clean-feeling, silky-smooth hands.
“How does VeriPur work its magic? Using patented SafetyDerm ® technology, it suspends benzathonium chloride in layers of rich moisturizers, acting like invisible protective gloves that provide up to 4 hours of germ-fighting protection. With no drying alcohol or hazardous triclosan, it’s safe for the entire family.”
I had the pleasure of attending the launch of VeriPur where Dr. Jim Sears pediatrician from the hit show The Doctors,
who shared why he switched his and his family’s hand sanitizer to VeriPur and how it can clean and protect your hands from germs AND keep them moisturized. The most interesting part of the evening for me was the enlightening tour that was given. I was given a lab coat to put on before I made my way through makeshift common areas that we use everyday – TV room, supermarket, elevator, work desk, etc – the supermarket part really grossed me out. Below are some quotes that were written throughout the tour:
and the scariest of them all
“The average shopping cart is loaded with more bacteria, saliva, and fecal matter than escalators, , public telephones, and even public bathrooms” – say it with me people, EWWWWWWW
Some fact/tips I learned from the event and Dr. Jim Sears include, ALWAYS wash your hands, wash your hands in hot water for about 20 seconds and always use VeriPur to sanitize and moisturize your hands to combat against the following list of bacteria (this is not even the entire list). For further bacteria and germ protection you’ll be wanting protective medical equipment such as this virimask for example, decreasing the inhalation of airborne particles and potentially nasty bascteria that could wreak havoc on your health short-term and long-term.
Salmonella typhimurium
Salmonella choleraesius
Shigella dysentereiae
Citrobacter
Staphylococcus epidermidis
Escerichia coli
Staphylococcus hominis
Streptococcus pyogenes and so on
Think about these while you touch your cellphone, a doorknob, restaurant ketchup bottles or salt and pepper shakers.
