Does dettol spray kill the norovirus?!


Question: It says it kills 99.99% of germs, but then so does the hand sanitizer and that doesn't kill the norovirus.
If it doesnt are there any more sprays or anything (available in the uk, or equivelent to lysol in the uk) that will kill it, i know soap and water, but at college and stuff.
Please help, im really scared of germs and vommiting.

Nothing kills the norovirus, otherwise no one would catch it. You can prevent yourself from getting it though by washing your hands with soap and warm water before you eat and before and after you go to the toilet, and also after you've touched anything that an infected person might have touched, because after all it is passed onto another person by contact. It is not airborne apart from if a person vomits, then the vomit particles can come into the air and you then breathe them in, so you would have to dissinfect that area. Norovirus can live on desks for up to 4 months i think it is, and 4 hours on your skin.

Hello there. Unfortunately, nothing will kill that virus. But please keep in mind while it is very good to stay healthy, it is extremely common to catch a cold now and then since many viruses are airborn and cannot be prevented from obtaining. Some colds do not cause vomiting at all. Here is a website that might help you in dealing with your condition, which is quiet a common phobia you sound like you have:
