Chlorine fights flu virus

While you are putting that extra can of tuna fish under the bed as Mike leavitt, Secretary of health and Human Services suggests you do, in some safer spot stockpile some common household bleach and use it to disinfect places which might hide flu virus. This is a good thing to do if goose or duck feces is likely to be on your deck or dock or swimming raft.

"A recent study by the National Institute of Nursing Research showed that hot water and bleach are more effective in reducing viral infections, such as flu, than antibacterial products. This is not unexpected because antibacterial products work only on bacteria, whereas bleach destroys both viruses and bacteria. "
