Additionally, the Poison Control centers have reported over 22,000 poisonings from ingesting alcohol gels. Independent tests show SHBAN's active ingredient inhibits the Norovirus, Swine H1N1 and H5N1 Influenza A viruses.
SHBAN is gentle on hands. SHBAN can be used on a cotton swab in your nostrils. Studies indicate that 80% of viruses are inhaled. SHBAN is economical. One (1) ounce of SHBAN is equal six (6) ounces of alcohol gel. SHBAN is available online: www.shban.com.
