Abstract
The emergence of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 pandemic has created an unprecedented healthcare, social, and economic disaster. Wearing of masks and social distancing can significantly decrease transmission and spread, however, due to circumstances such as medical or dental intervention and personal choice these practices have not been universally adopted. Additional strategies are required to lessen transmission. Nasal rinses and mouthwashes, which directly impact the major sites of reception and transmission of human coronaviruses (HCoV), may provide an additional level of protection against the virus. Common over‐the‐counter nasal rinses and mouthwashes/gargles were tested for their ability to inactivate high concentrations of HCoV using contact times of 30 s, 1 min, and 2 min. Reductions in titers were measured by using the tissue culture infectious dose 50 (TCID50) assay. A 1% baby shampoo nasal rinse solution inactivated HCoV greater than 99.9% with a 2‐min contact time. Several over‐the‐counter mouthwash/gargle products including Listerine and Listerine‐like products were highly effective at inactivating infectious virus with greater than 99.9% even with a 30‐s contact time. In the current manuscript we have demonstrated that several commonly available healthcare products have significant virucidal properties with respect to HCoV.
Takeways:
1) See table 3 for which mouthwashes are effective, how much virus is inactivated (science-speak for "killed"), and how long it took. The most effective ones kill at least (≥) 99.9% to more than (>) 99.99% of virus in 30 seconds - Crest Pro Health, Listerine Antiseptic, Listerine Ultra, Equate Antiseptic (Walmart house brand), CVS Antiseptic Mouth Wash, and Betadine 5%. As a nasal rinse, 1% Baby Shampoo (Johnson and Johnson) was equally effective to the above mouthwash. Saline solution (Neti Pot) did nothing.
1) Hydrogen Peroxide and alcohol each kill the virus.
2) My opinion - the saliva WuFlu test results would be heavily influenced if the patient had used one of these mouthwashes.
3) My opinion - Rather than lockdowns, it would be highly cost-effective to provide the populace (especially the vulnerable) with coupons for free mouthwash, Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, zinc, and quercetin (an over-the-counter supplement that is an ionophore like hydroxychloroquine). Ditto handing the products out at schools and workplaces. Offer them at restaurants for after-dining use..
4) My opinion - might be able to use OTC hydrogen peroxide rather than a mouthwash. Alcohol - too dangerous - idiots would try rubbing alcohol or methanol and die - ethanol and beer/wine/whiskey also NSFW or driving.
