A virus that is widely known because it rapidly spread through out the world. Killing people in some country like japan, United States etc. Some classes from college up to grades schools are suspended and World Health Organization (WHO) consider it pandemic.The virus is called Influenza A(H1N1). This virus is a subtype of influenzavirus A and the most common cause of influenza (flu) in humans. Some strains of H1N1 are endemic in humans and cause a small fraction of all influenza-like illness and a large fraction of all seasonal influenza. H1N1 strains caused roughly half of all human flu infections in 2006. Other strains of H1N1 are endemic in pigs (swine influenza) and in birds (avian influenza). This strain is commonly called "swine flu" by the public media.Influenza A virus strains are categorized according to two proteins found on the surface of the virus: hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N). All influenza A viruses contain hemagglutinin and neuraminidase, but the structures of these proteins differ from strain to strain, due to rapid genetic mutation in the viral genome. Influenza A virus strains are assigned an H number and an N number based on which forms of these two proteins the strain contains. There are 16 H and 9 N subtypes known in birds, but only H 1, 2 and 3, and N 1 and 2 are commonly found in humans. A corporation called Cito Corporation offers a new product, a hand sanitizer which can protect people like you from this virus. A hand sanitizer, also known as a healthcare personnel hand wash or a hand antiseptic according to the latest FDA definition, is used as a supplement or alternative to hand washing with soap and water. The active ingredient in hand sanitizers may be isopropanol, ethanol, or (in Europe) n-propanol. A variety of preparations are available, including gels, foam and liquid solutions. Hand sanitizers containing alcohol are more effective at killing germs than soaps and do not dry out hands as much as soaps.[1] Inactive ingredients in alcohol rubs typically include a thickening agent such as Carbomer (a trade name for polyacrylic acid) for alcohol gels, humectants such as glycerin for liquid rubs and propylene glycol, or essential oils of plants. Popular alcohol rub brands include Baccide, Purell, Germ-X, Aqium, Avant, GermOut, and Aquawet. Lysol, and Method Products also produce popular alcohol-based hand sanitizers. In recent years, some brands started combining alcohol rubs with natural products and essential oils to provide luxury lines for the growing skin care industry. Such brands include Burt's Bees, EO, Frais, Jao and The Body Shop. Compare to all of hand sanitizers what we have now The Instant Hand Sanitizer now uses Chlorhexidine instead of Triclosan whichhas received some concerns over possible ill effects when mixed with Chlorine. The Chlorhexidine is the active biocide that kills 99.9% of all germs including the H1N1 now plaguing most urban areas. So protect you and your family with this hand sanitizers. |
