Could this have any possibility of working?!


Question: Could this have any possibility of working!?
i saw a lysol commercial that said it killed 99!.9% of germs

and it listed a bunch of them, and herpes was on the list

so if someone had herpes, and sprayed lysol all over their "business", could it get rid of the herpes!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
No, it can't eliminate it from the bloodstream, only on hard surfaces!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Herpes is a virus, not a bacteria and it doesn't live in the blood stream!.You can't get rid of herpes with Lysol or any other way!. It also does not "live" on the surface of the skin!. Once infected, it travels down into the base of certain nerve cells and occasionally travels back up where it reaches the outer skin cells, "sheds" the virus and causes outbreaks of sores!. Even at that time you couldn't do anything significant to the virus with Lysol!. It's still "in the tube" so to speak,- the nerve cells, reaching all the way back to the base of the nerve cells!. It'd be like wiping off the end of a water hose hoping to absorb all the water in the hose!.

Indulge me in a rant about antibacterials: I haven't noticed such a claim by Lysol but it sounds typical in that they are marketing a solution for a problem that, in most cases, doesn't exist!. Essentially they are marketing fear!. In fact, we need bacteria and even some viruses, if for no other reason, to keep our normal immune system active and "tuned up"!. Normally we will get several small infections a week or more often and we never even know about it because our immune system recognises the intruders and sends out white blood cells to destroy them!. Not having any bacteria or viruses around for out immune systems to deal with is counter-productive!. But that won't stop Lysol and similar marketers from trying to convince us that we should have everything 99% germ free!. An even more troublesome aspect of this is, for instance, antibacterial "everything" (including antibiotics and 'antibacterial' dish soap)that dumps antibacterial chemicals into our water drains and supplies by the truckload every day!. A: we need bacteria in our sewage systems to break down waste!. These agents kill virtually all types of bacteria including the beneficial ones!. B: When really harmful bacteria come into contact with these agents some will still survive and learn how to fight back against the antibacterial!. This is how "superbugs" develop!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well technically it would kill the ones on the surface, but it would sting a lot too!. It would not prevent nor cure a STD, since those are transmitted by fluids, and as pointed out above, this would not kill the ones in the bloodstream!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Remember !.!.!. any disinfectant strong enough to kill bacteria is ALSO strong enough to kill human cells!. (skin cells are dead !.!.!. thye can handle it)!.

Lysol spray to your tender parts and mucus membranes would give you some serious tissue damage!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
