Garlging with mouthwash after symptoms appear is one way to help stop the spread of cold virusesRSV from spreading: disinfecting hands and surfaces as well as gargling with mouthwash when symptoms occur.
Every year, respiratory syncytial viruses cause countless respiratory infections worldwide. For infants, young children, and people with preexisting conditions, the virus can be life-threatening. The team from the Department for Molecular and Medical Virology at Ruhr University Bochum has explored ways to reduce the risk of infection.
“If we assume that these results from the lab can be transferred to everyday life, we are not at the mercy of seasonal flu and common cold, but can actively prevent infection,” concludes Toni Luise Meister. “In addition to disinfection, people should wash their hands regularly, maintain a proper sneezing and coughing etiquette, and keep their distance from others when they’re experiencing any symptoms.
