Tips to Protect Yourself from the Coronavirus and Toxic Chemicals
You’ve probably heard advice about using disinfectants to clean door knobs, kitchen counters, bathroom sinks, etc. But have you wondered just what’s in those disinfectants and whether they are safe for your family? After all, disinfectants are pesticides.
Good News
The good news is that U.S. CDC recommends plain old alcohol as a disinfectant. Not your favorite wine or beer, but products that are at least 70% alcohol. This includes 70% rubbing alcohol (look at your local drug, grocery, or big box store) or liquor with a very high alcohol content (over 140 proof).
This is an effective way to disinfect and protect yourself from the coronavirus without putting your health at risk by using products that contain toxic chemicals.
