Andrea Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Hi. I am not sure how effective this is, but I wanted to share the link to the product. When I told my father in law that the oncologist does not want my mom shaking hands with people, hugging or kissing at my shower and wedding and all of those events, he bought my mom this portable air purifier to wear around her neck for the shower earlier today and anytime she is out in public. It seems neat to help limit germs:) http://www.purennatural.com/prod_desc.php?prod_id=427 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berisa Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 hi, last year SARS outbreak in hong kong, these kind products are very popular for purifying the air. But, after a while, our consumer council tested several different brand products and concluded that these cannot kill germs etc.....I am not sure whether this brand could do well and this brand was widely used by local stars, but I have an impression that this not really help.

gerbil runner Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Usually these "gadgets" are not significantly effective. What WILL help is Purell - keep it on hand (no pun intended) at all times. If your mom's WBC is low, she could consider a surgical mask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhutch1366 Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 While hand sanitizer and surgical mask are very good at what they are designed to do, there is some value of keeping this gadget by your face, ie it keeps people out of it, and enlarges your personal space. There's some merit to that notion. I'd sooner trust the surgical mask on a plane, however. Hope your mom enjoys the shower....
