I don’t know if I should believe this, but I’m reporting it anyway… It seems that a UK pharmaceutical company has developed a hand gel that destroys the H5N1 virus in 30 seconds, and remains effective for 30 minutes.
DermaSalve Sciences is a pharmaceutical company known making skincare products for people with extremely dry skin. Dr. Mark Randle, CEO, announced that the gel, which also has anti-bacterial properties and beneficial for dry skin treatment, will be in the market by the end of 2006.
Well, it remains to be seen how effective this gel is… if only it were this easy to get rid of the flu virus…
I checked out the DermaSalve website but didn’t find anything on this news. However, Medical News Today and several others here and here carry the news.

Oh, come on! Anti-flu hand gel? What next? Maybe an anti-freckles pill? They just don’t know what to come up with to keep your attention busy. How many people would actually use that?
