SUSCEPTIBILITY TO DISINFECTANTS Ebola virus is susceptible to 3% acetic acid (vinegar), 1% glutaraldehyde, alcohol-based products (e.g. methylated spirit), and dilutions (1:10-1:100 for ≥10 minutes) of 5.25% household bleach (sodium hypochlorite), and calcium hypochlorite (bleach powder) Footnote 48 Footnote 49 Footnote 50 Footnote 62 Footnote 63. The WHO recommendations for cleaning up spills of blood or body fluids suggest flooding the area with a 1:10 dilutions of 5.25% household bleach for 10 minutes for surfaces that can tolerate stronger bleach solutions (e.g., cement, metal) Footnote 62. For surfaces that may corrode or discolour, they recommend careful cleaning to remove visible stains followed by contact with a 1:100 dilution of 5.25% household bleach for more than 10 minutes. PHYSICAL INACTIVATION Ebola are moderately thermolabile and can be inactivated by heating for 30 minutes to 60 minutes at 60°C, boiling for 5 minutes, or gamma irradiation (1.2 x106 rads to 1.27 x106 rads) combined with 1% glutaraldehyde Footnote 10 Footnote 48 Footnote 50. Ebola virus has also been determined to be moderately sensitive to UVC radiation Footnote 51. SURVIVAL OUTSIDE HOST Filoviruses have been reported capable to survive for weeks in blood and can also survive on contaminated surfaces, particularly at low temperatures (4°C) Source: http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/lab-bio/res/psds-ftss/ebola-eng.php (Published by the public health agency of Canada) These methods are for killing the virus on objects that Ebola victims' body fluids may have touched. Do not drink or bathe in bleach, please! It seems that chlorinated water is what the Lagos Ebola containment center uses to bath people who have had contact with the Ebola virus. 17 Likes 21 Shares |

How will the market woman outside know this? My thought iڪ that, while I may be able to comprehend, we need these information in simple terms and description to the masses outside there. They are even more vulnerable 3 Likes |

GAZZUZZ: Chlorine water is used in liberia its cheap and effective, better than handsanitizers.So true. Chlorine exerts a potent germicidal effect against most bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and even some fungi. It is very active. |

Found this from another Canadian site (God bless Canada): SUSCEPTIBILITY TO DISINFECTANTS Ebola virus is susceptible to sodium hypochlorite, lipid solvents, phenolic disinfectants, peracetic acid, methyl alcohol, ether, sodium deoxycholate, 2% glutaraldehyde, 0.25% Triton X-100, β-propiolactone, 3% acetic acid (pH 2.5), formaldehyde and paraformaldehyde, and detergents such as SDS https://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/lab-bio/res/psds-ftss/ebola-eng.php According to this page, Dettol is a Phenolic disinfectant: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9177891 So it seems the Ebola virus is "susceptible" to Dettol, but there is no information about the required concentration and how it should be used to maximize its effectiveness. I would prefer to use bleach for objects due to the clear instructions on how to use it effectively. For washing hands and body I think I'll use Dettol soap. For hand sanitization without water, I'll use methylated spirit or undiluted NCP (also phenolic). 5 Likes 6 Shares |

Let me add a few points here... 1) for those who dont know... JIK is household bleach... If you wanna make a stock solution, take a capful of jik into a small eva bottle and mix with water, that will be enough for washing floors, sinks, and even hands!!! 2) dettol can also be used, you may either use it raw (in this case, only one capful is okay, please dont overdo it) or mix a capful with a cup of water for washing hands... If you wanna take a bath, use two or three capfuls in a bucket of water... NB: dettol is totally different from SAVLON, please dont mix it up!!! 3) always try and avoid direct contact with strangers, just to avoid the stress... Well, thats that for now 5 Likes 1 Share |

wallex1983: How will the market woman outside know this? My thought iڪ that, while I may be able to comprehend, we need these information in simple terms and description to the masses outside there.In simple term , the most common sodium hypochlorite is Jik/Hypo or anything of such, but don't forget that prevention is better than cure. |
