<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 1215660, member: 15199"]Yes, I read the article. But what happens in a controlled experiment is very often different in actual practice. The principle has been known for more than a century. Notice the nice bright copper surfaces in the photo, they have to stay that way with no coating. I didn't say it wouldn't work under the best situations, but a blind study needed to be done with copper covered with acrylic film or something so the cleaners and medical staff didn't know which was the test. Actually, the copper covering could be microscopic in thickness and useful for a long time ( if kept untarnished). I guess one could tape new cents with pure copper clad to surface outbreaks of flesh eating bacteria, but I prefer one of the newer antibiotics myself. IMO. The amount of use wouldn't move the copper price. IMO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
