Mouthwashes Confirmed To Kill CoVid
Vidcast: https://youtu.be/vWvdYtZ6ck0
A common component of mouthwashes, cetylpyridinium chloride or CPC for short, is known to kill CoVid and its variants by itself or in the presence of saliva. Japanese biologists have now confirmed the work of British researchers, reported last year, showing that CPC-containing mouthwash can kill the original Wuhan CoVid and its alpha, beta, and gamma variants.
The researchers suggest that the CoVid virucidal effect is due to CPC-induced virus protein denaturation. CPC appears to work better than chlorhexidine, another common mouthwash component.
We know that CoVid is present in saliva. The saliva from an infected person, in addition to their respiratory secretions, can spread disease. So use of a CPC-containing mouthwash can’t hurt in our fight against CoVid spread.
The CPC mouthwashes include: Cepacol Antibacterial Mouthwash; Crest ProHealth Rinse; Colgate Zero Alcohol-Free Mouthwash, TheraBreath Oral Rinse; ACT Mouthwash; and Amazon Basics Antiseptic Rinse.
