Nano-Silver? Infused in three layers of COVID-19 protection? Here’s how high-tech can lower Americans’ chances of getting or transmitting Coronavirus. A company called Boomer Naturals has designed the most effective non-medical face mask on the planet.

The nano-silver fibers in their 30-day face asks are engineered to help fight bacteria and provide better, more effective protection than regular cloth masks. Nano-silver particles have a
relatively large surface area, which increases their contact with bacteria or fungi – and therefore increases their antibacterial effect. Nano-silvered medical textiles used in hospital settings have also shown promise in reducing bacterial transmission and contamination. They’re literally a “fortress for your face!” Dr. Christina Madison, an infectious disease pharmacist, explains to Mark Alyn
