A Natural Nasal Spray Solution That Kills Viruses?
Exciting news: In a 3D model of the human nasal passage, a new drug-free nasal spray blocked and neutralized nearly 100 percent of all viruses and bacteria tested, including influenza, SARS-CoV-2, RSV, adenovirus, and Klebsiella pneumonia, according to experiments conducted by Harvard Medical School scientists at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.
According to the report, the nasal spray’s gel-like coating shielded mice from a deadly form of the influenza virus. In the 3D replica of the nasal cavity, the gel-like substance “enhanced capture of respiratory droplets, preventing them from invading the deeper airways.”

This sounds very exciting. Maybe we can do away with needles. I wouldn't miss them...

True. Very promising for preventing more severe respiratory infections.

This sounds great. Hopefully, it will prove as effective in humans and the pharmaceutical companies won't get their hands on it and price it out of reach.
