The swine flu in Texas caused Mexico to take a drastic step to suspend temporarily all
public nonessential activities. Global authorities warned countries that the swine flu
threatened to become a pandemic that would spread around the world. A small child
died of swine flu in Texas, on the border of Mexico. This toddler who hailed from
Mexico City had traveled to Texas and succumbed in a Hospital in Houston. The virus
to which humans had limited immunity began to spread to nine countries and in the
US alone there were nearly 100 people who were infected in about eleven states.

Precautionary measures were taken in many states, like the closure of schools and
educational institutions that affected almost 53,000 students and children in Texas.
North of the Mexican border a marine was infected by the swine flu virus and 39 of the
other marines were being quarantined. The European Union and the US along with
other countries have tried to discourage unnecessary travel to Mexico. Other countries
have recommended travelers to avoid Canada and the US even though Health officials
have said that bans like these would not really do much to stop the swine flu virus. The
virus is said to have infected 2,498 persons across Mexico in addition to 168 people
who have already died of the virus. Only 1,311 patients are hospitalized due to
suspected swine influenza and it is feared that thousands more complained of the
symptoms in spite of the attempts to curb the outbreak.

The virus can infect all surfaces and therefore it is of utmost importance to keep all
surfaces free of microorganisms. One way to do this is to use the Smittstopp Spray that
not only guarantees a long term protection from the virus but also acts as a cleaner and
a disinfectant. The technology behind this is the novel “electrostatic attraction”. Once
the Smittstopp is sprayed over the surface, it adheres and bonds to it very well and after
it dries it forms a layer of cationic polymer. This cationic polymer is positively charged
and this works like a magnet to the viruses and bacteria and other tiny microorganisms
which are anionic (negatively charged) that stick to the surface and get killed in an
instant. The Smittstopp (the name means “Stop the disease”) spray can be sprayed on
clothes and the effects don’t wear off in a hurry! Even after 20 washes, clothes that
have been sprayed with Smittstopp have been found to resist the virus.

It is therefore important to spray all surfaces that are constantly touched with Smittstopp
as this will ensure the destruction of deadly viruses. All knobs, handles of doors, stair
railings, banisters, switches, taps, etc should be sprayed to keep them virus free. Public
areas like libraries, transport terminals, bus stops, clinics and hospitals, schools and
educational institutes should ensure that the Smittstopp spray is used over all
surfaces.
Care should also be taken not to neutralize the Smittstopp spray effect by spraying
common or ordinary cleaners over it. This is because ordinary cleaners are negatively
charged whereas the cationic polymer layer of the Smittstopp spray is positively
charged.

The swine flu in Texas has made the world aware that many special precautionary
measures have to be taken to stem the virus. Swine flu does have similar symptoms
like the ordinary regular influenza, and is spread through the miniscule particles that
are laced with the virus, so people are advised to stay at home, wash their hands
regularly and use facemasks and respirators.
