So I think either ugl s will have short supply soon or worse crap gets toxic if that’s possible, I have to admit this virus has me a bit concerned with me, i have three young kids
I am in the US yes.
The process of making the oils involves heating it to over 200F. See my first response to you if you want additional sterility.
No that’s a good point maybe over reacting
It is rational to be concerned about the packaging and outside of the vial (maybe boil or wipe down with alcohol). Also corona virus has killed about 2% of those infected, and most were old folks (interesting that it hasn’t killed many children). For people who are adults and not say past 65, I think there is not much to worry about.
The flu has killed more people in the same time span. I think this whole thing is being over blown (probably some blame at least goes to the media).
If you question the sterility of your gear you can skip the heat and simply filter it. A $3 .22mu filter on Amazon will give you all you need in terms of sterilization.
I am not sure about a .22 mu filter being able to filter out a virus. Bacteria yes, virus I don’t think so?
Edit: Just checked Corona is about .12 mu in diameter. So that filter will not work.
I am not sure if the virus could survive the time between bottling and shipping anyways.
Honestly, if we’re at the point where the concern is that high then I would really rethink using a particular lab. There’s only so much we can do as end-users to protect ourselves. At some point we’re basically stuck taking a leap of faith, which is at best a little unsettling.
Well, I think the whole thing is being overblown. I am not worried, as the kill rate of the corona virus for people in my age group is close to 0 (about 0.2%). Old people have something to worry about perhaps as the kill % is much higher ~15% if you are older than 80.
If the virus makes it to Florida or parts of Arizona, large portions of the population could go (if a large percent get infected).
