I don’t bother with all these wipes and sanitizer because I’m very concerned with the ingredients left on the hand which can be drying and can get into our mouth. I’m very concerned with about of ethylene glycol in hand sanitizer in a society where its normal to use our hand to eat. Ethylene glycol can cause heart, lung and kidney failure and brain damage in large quantities and even bioaccumulated.

Plus, a single vit c tablet for adult are 1000mg and since its soluble, the absorption rate is higher hence a large percentage of the dosage will be excreted by the kidney. Vitamin C are not known for its acute side effects since it have a relatively wide therapeutic range but no one knew much the chronic effects of taking megadosage of vit C.

There are some cases when vitamin C can erode cavity, increasing the chances getting rheumatoid athritis, kidney stones, copper deficiency and even inducing abortion.

Its recommended if you are healthy to get 500mg per day or twice a day around day and then night.

But I don’t really believe in the hype of supplements and the vit C efficacies in preventing and curing cold is so clinically insignificant that I usually don’t bother with it since I usually eat fruits and vegetables which are more effective than pills.

Get a regular health check before, during and after you get in or out of country. Don’t trust what fashion magazines told you on health, because I usually found most of them very misleading.

When I’m in diagnostic labs. I only use masks on these occasions; doing urinalysis, watching bone marrow aspiration and when standing nearby anything with formalin.

Its all about preventing you from spreading water droplets to and from patients. And to avoid smelling bad odours. Basically, its useless unless you are dealing with body fluids which you can inhale the splattering droplets.

Its really basic knowledge but most are unaware of it.

Thanks for the tip! I don’t think we get Hovid here

I do carry a hand sanitizer with me ALL the time because hand washing may not always be feasible.

People do look at me with a statement “She must be a health freak or Kiasee” whenever I sanitize my hands before removing the surgical mask to eat at the restaurant! Also sanitize again when I put on another new piece of surgical mask!

Anyways, apologies if I sound bad. It’s always better be safe than sorry tho’

However, do have a safe trip yea?
Cheers
