Prevent Flu At Home
Dear Reader,
With flu season now in full swing, anything that will slow the spread is welcome. A new study in the respected journal PLoS One finds there might be a very simple way to reduce the risk of infection... upping humidity levels. If indoor humidity levels are raised to 43% or higher, the researchers saw that they were able to render 86% of airborne virus particles powerless.
To look at the role humidity plays in flu transmission, John Noti, who is a senior service fellow with the U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health's Health Effects Laboratory Division and his team relied on mechanical mannequins and tissue cultures instead of live human subjects.
Here's how the study worked, a coughing mannequin acting as a patient was placed in a tightly sealed and disinfected hospital exam room and allowed to "cough" by being outfitted with aerosolized virus. At the same time, a breathing mannequin who was the caregiver faced the coughing patient at a distance of just under 7 feet. The breathing caregiver was programmed to inhale in time with the coughing, samples of the inhaled air were taken at different points for up to five hours after exposure to the coughing patient.
All during the testing, humidity levels were changed from a low of 7% to a high of 73% relative humidity. When the humidity levels were set at 43% only 14% of the virus particles that were released by the coughing were able to transmit the virus. This compares to a transmission rate of 7% to 77% in a low humidity environment, in the range of 23% relative humidity. The good news is that the protective impact of the higher humidity levels was pretty fast, the inactivation taking place within 15 minutes of when the particles were first coughed into the air.
Of course it remains to be seen if the study findings on humidity can be applied effectively to a real world medical setting. The most practical application of the idea would likely be in hospitals where protecting staff would be most valuable.
Experts like Dr. Marc Siegel, a clinical associate professor of medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center agree that the reasoning makes sense. Viral droplets fall to the ground in humid air because water travels better on dry air. It's well known that moisture stops the movement of germs (as it does bioterror weapons and other chemicals) as they combine with the moisture and drop.

Prevent Flu At Home Continued...
When relative humidity reaches the 70s is when we feel uncomfortable.
It's no accident that in the winter months, when the flu or other viruses are most likely to be spread, it's hard to keep humidity at 45% because you have to compete with all the dry heat being pumped into rooms that are at 20% relative humidity, if you're lucky. In a home space, you'd have trouble keeping humidity this high, even if you confined the patient to one room and used humidifiers of the proper size while keeping doors and windows closed.
Each year the flu kills over 36,000 people and sends 200,000 more to the hospital. It's a serious illness that can hospitalize or kill even the young and healthy. What might inhibit the oxytocin response? Things like high stress, abuse in childhood that was early and severe in nature, some psychiatric disorders and the high testosterone of young men.
To your good health,
