I am endlessly searching and reading trying to learn more about FIP and virology in general. My microbiology classes in college were in 1982, and since then the diseases and the technology have speeded ahead. And while I might be tempted to go back and take a few classes, I have two kids to put through college the first time, first.
So I read a lot of medical journals and various articles.
I came across this

in a hand held version at costco and bought it. I won't use antibacterial products in my home because of the potential danger to the immune system, the fact that some items in them are poisonous to cats (triclosan) and it is better to be exposed and build up immunity to many bacteria and viruses. However as we well know..some viruses are not so friendly.
Hence the light wand. Now, I don't have the lab equiptment at home to verify the results, but there does seem to be acceptable research into this to verify it.
I only have the hand wand, but I am very tempted to purchase the floor one. I think it could possibly help reduce the viral load spread around the house. For now, we are "wanding" the litterboxes....not exactly what I had in mind for a "magic wand" but hey, good enough for me...
What I wouldn't give to have one more day with Zilla.

Very interesting. Too bad you can't test it someway, I would trust you're results better than theirs. Although they look very good. I stopped using a lot of chemicals years ago because of the cats. I agree that they and we need to build an immunity against these germs. And chemicals aren't good for any of us.
ReplyDeleteI was especially interested in the results against dust mites since I am allergic to them. I have to replace my pillows at least once a year but can't afford a new mattress that often. Might be worth a try. I could tell you first hand if it helped with dust mites.
I still think you have the ability to figure out something with the FIP, you have the drive to do so and that's one of the most important things. And you have a background where you understand a lot of the scientific stuff that most people don't have. I have a strong feeling that you will someday figure it out so keep trucking!
Zilla looks so sweet! I am so sorry.
