Chapter 17 Disinfection, ventilation is better than fumigated vinegar
When you catch a cold, some people are used to smoking vinegar in the room; some people usually smoke vinegar to prevent colds, saying that it can kill the germs in the room.However, edible vinegar can be said to have no effect on disinfection and sterilization, and it is wrong to use fumigated vinegar to prevent colds.

Experts have done experiments to prove that vinegar has no effect on disinfection and sterilization, let alone kill viruses.For families, the best way to prevent colds and disinfect is to ventilate instead of blindly fuming vinegar.The acetic acid smell of fumigated vinegar can stimulate the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract, especially causing the attack or aggravation of the condition of patients with bronchitis, emphysema and asthma.If the concentration of fumigated vinegar is too high and the time is too long, it will not only cause symptoms such as dyspnea and nausea, but also cause damage to the skin.

The reason why many people think that vinegar has the effect of disinfection and sterilization may be that the acetic acid in vinegar can work.According to experts, acetic acid does have disinfection and bactericidal effects when it reaches a certain concentration, but the effect is not very good. Even if the concentration is high, it is not recommended to use it.The concentration of acetic acid contained in edible vinegar is very low, which is far from the level of disinfection.In addition to smoked vinegar, many families also use peracetic acid and lysol water commonly used in hospitals to sterilize.Experts from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention remind everyone that it is best not to use these disinfection products for families, because these drugs have strong oxidizing ability and high acidity. In addition to being harmful to human health, they also have certain damage to furniture.

If the room must be disinfected, the safest way is to go to the health and epidemic prevention department to ask professional disinfection personnel to spray or fumigate with the corresponding concentration of liquid medicine according to the size of the room.
