BRITISH troops will be given insect repellant for protection against coronavirus after tests showed it may kill the deadly disease.

Citriodiol has been known to fight types of the virus - with evidence now suggesting it could also tackle the Covid-19 strain.

A source told Sky News there is evidence to suggest the product - made
from oil from the leaves and twigs of the eucalyptus citriodora tree -
could kill the strain behind the pandemic.

It is found in the insect repellent Mosi Guard, which is already being dispatched to military units.

The product dissolves over time, so could add a layer of protection for a number of hours.

If proven to be effective, the spray will be used to bolster current
protective measures - including social distancing and hand washing.

The company behind Citriodiol is now calling for the government to
formally test the product after claiming it could offer better protection against coronavirus.

Jacqueline Watson, managing director of Citrefine International Ltd, said: "What we can say is that we do feel there is a very good chance it could
work against this virus but it does of course need to be thoroughly
tested."

Soldiers are also being handed disinfectant spray if they come into
contact with someone who may have the killer bug.

The ESOL disinfectant is normally used on food to extend its shelf life -
with troops being asked to apply it every four hours.

They are also set to be offered vitamin D supplements to boost their
immune system.

Priority will be given to those supporting the government's effort to
tackle coronavirus - such as troops working on testing sites and
delivering personal protective equipment (PPE).

A Ministry of Defence spokesperson said: "The protection and well-being of armed forces personnel is a priority.

"To help them remain healthy and available for duty the MoD is considering
what additional measures can help their immune systems to stay fighting
fit."

### - not a disinfectant one should ever inject of course (lol) were you
ever so stoopid to consider doing so that is haha, but quite possibly one
you could conceivably spray onto ones clothes & shoes after being out,
and/or just before going out, as a means to avoid inadvertently picking up
the virus and bringing that shit back home with you on your attire...

curious that it's used on food to prolong its shelf-life though? iow it's edible! so could possibly be used as a gargle/mouthwash too? and/or
possibly say in lozenges that protects those cells in the mouth & throat
that this virus particularly aims to infect thus perhaps affording some protection while you're out doing your shopping and/or going to work etc
(no need for masks?)

looks like we's gonna be learning a 'lot' about viruses in the near future
then huh, maybe even enough to handle colds & flu a bit better too, who
knows :)
