Iodine Swab
The use of a diluted Povidone-Iodine solution in your nose is a simple way to kill the virus where it lives. We each take one swab and swipe each nostril right when we get home when I feel we’ve been exposed to a little something extra.
This is even a preoperative practice for surgical patients because of its potential to eliminate pathogenic organisms responsible for surgical site infections.
*Note- This solution is an orange-brown color. To test for an iodine deficiency, rub a patch of skin with the solution and let it dry. Leave for 24hours and take note of how fast your skin absorbs it (how fast or slowly the coloring disappears.) If it is visibly gone in the 24hour period, it is likely your body is indicating a deficiency.
