Celox is truly amazing. There is a video on youtube of a pig having it's femoral artery completly severed, allowed to bleed for 90 seconds. Celox and pressure were applied to the wound for 5 minutes. The wound was then unpacked and leg was jiggled to agitate the wound. There was no more bleeding and the pig was still alive.

I am referring to the least expensive tool available, if utilized for protection and prevention of the spread of respiratory infectious or contagious airborne pathogens. They will not only protect YOU from the person who is infectious, but also protect THEM if you are the one who is infectious.<br />These masks are available in varying sizes and configurations from any medical supplier or Walmart. <br />The correct recommended fitting for <br />protection requires it to completely cover over your nose and mouth and make an effectively "closed seal" at your face and under your jaw. The better quality masks have a metal strip which allows you to pinch bend it over the bridge of your nose, this helps to form fit a mass produced mask to your individual face. When you breath in and out, the mask should slightly puff out and suck in with inspiration and exhalation, but it should remain affixed to your face and jaw. This is a normal fit. they come with either an elastic strap which goes around the auricle of your ears, or a double set of tie straps which go around the back of your neck and head.<br />These masks should be replaced if they get wet. Your normal respirations are naturally moist. Change the mask when it gets wet. If you are a mouth breather, that's usually in about 20 to 30 minutes time.<br /> Change when they get torn or, routinely after maximum of one hours usage. Never reuse the old masks. They, just like all other protective isolation garb are to be disposed of in a separate plastic trashbag, separated from the household trash.<br />There is also a mask available with an exhalation valve. These should NEVER be worn by the person who IS infected as protection for others. In this case, the pathogenic airborne vapor then is ejected into the entire room, thus contaminating the room's air and any articles or persons in it.<br /><br /><br />notutopiaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-83478602981708489452011-03-03T08:56:19.688-08:002011-03-03T08:56:19.688-08:00A surgical mask or N95 mask is a viable option for...A surgical mask or N95 mask is a viable option for dust and particulates in the air. They are not so great for protection from air borne communicable diseases. They look good and give the wearer confidence but probably will not work. They are best used for a health worker who either wants to protect a patient during an operation where their body is cut open or for a very limited protection from a patient who might cough or sneeze in their presence. But for a communicable disease like the flu or worse they would have limited value. The reason is as simple as what it is that makes a disease like flu able to become pandemic. If another 1918 style flu were to be unleashed around the world everyone would be exposed and everyone would either get it and suffer serious consequences or they would get it and for whatever reason they would show little or no symptoms. Wearing a mask will not prevent that. This will be true for lesser diseases as well if the carrier is a family member. You probably won't be able to prevent your family members from catching your cold if you or they wear a mask. Just saying... Don't want anyone to have a false confidence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-66025993822136233452011-03-03T06:32:39.394-08:002011-03-03T06:32:39.394-08:00re: Diane in Tx,
