Just seen a sky news article on whether mouthwash can reduce infections of the virus
Who thinks this is going to be the next mad rush shopping item which is going to run out? Grin

By the time I got to the end of the article earlier this afternoon I knew it was too late to amend next week's Ocado order ...

My sister (a doctor working in Australia) told me months ago to get a zinc throat spray or mouthwash as it can help kill viruses that live in the throat at an early stage. I thought it couldn’t hurt so I got one. My DH had covid at the start of March (he’s fine now) and I didn’t catch it/or if I did I certainly didn’t have any symptoms other than one day or sore throat and a bit headachey. Of course I’m not saying I had covid (no testing) as it could easily have been another mild virus. I used the spray daily from mid feb, DH didn’t. We’ll never know if it made any difference!!!
