Earlier media reported that a new type of virus is not transmitted through parcels from China and from other countries. It is noted that the virus is well preserved on the surface of these products.
A complete rejection of natural vitamins is not an option. How to process fruits and vegetables so as not to become infected with coronavirus, later in the article.
What the virus loves and what it fears
To begin with, we will figure out under what conditions the virus multiplies well and under which it dies. The human, animal and plant organism is an ideal medium for the spread of infection. The virus can safely exist on inanimate objects - the keyboard, the door handle, as well as on the surface of the products. Not everything is so sad. The infection can be neutralized.
Complete sterility is harmful to the body’s immune system. It becomes unviable.
Microbes are afraid:
- Moisture - in conditions of dryness, the infection spreads rapidly.
- Temperature + 26 ... + 27 ° С - heat is unbearable for coronavirus.
- Antiseptics. Hygiene is the enemy of any germs.
Processing vegetables and fruits should be carried out taking into account the above factors.
Hand disinfection
Disinfection of products can be carried out at home on their own.
Water treatments
Coronavirus does not tolerate moisture. Water neutralizes it. Therefore, after purchase for 5 minutes. wash products simply with tap water or with soap. Better with a brush. It will turn out to eliminate not only the infection, but also the harmful membrane that the producers cover with fruits and vegetables for preservation.
The use of special cleaning products suitable for washing dishes, fruits and vegetables will enhance the effect. For example, Korean, Japanese. On the packaging it should be written.
Another way - soaking for 30 minutes. in water with a temperature of + 26 ° C. After all, as mentioned above, a warm, humid environment is harmful to the virus.
Vinegar
Vinegar has long been known for its anti-cold properties. It has a bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effect on the body. In folk medicine, vinegar is used as an antipyretic. At a body temperature above 38 ° C, doctors recommend rubbing with a 3% aqueous solution of vinegar. And for throat diseases, rinse with the same mixture. Soak the fruit in water with vinegar (4 to 1) for 20 minutes. sanitizes foods and solutes chemicals.
For greater confidence in safety, after water procedures, you can cut the peel from fruits and vegetables.
