HealthDay talks to Dr. Berger about ‘best practices’ for disinfecting
Summary
GIDEON’s co-founder Dr. Stephen Berger provided practical advice about what items should be disinfected in your home. ] Here’s what Dr. Berger had to say to HealthDay: “We are all swimming through an invisible swamp of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Not to mention your cellular phone, wristwatch, eyeglasses, and everything else in your world.” But he did explain that there’s no need to scrub everything down once you return from outside. “And you have no reason to compulsively avoid, or even clean, every object in your personal world. With one exception: your own hands!” Proper handwashing is what the experts have been stressing from the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic and a message that Dr. Berger, who is double board-certified in infectious diseases and clinical microbiology, reinforces.
