Yes the T Zone awareness is a 10 on scales of 1-10 for TRUE respiratory infection prevention. As you all are now talking about ANY surface you touch is a potential source, now you can empower people "how to protect themselves" when there is no soap and water, wipes or sanitizer.
I know I sound like a broken record, but after 33 years of Family Medicine I have come to understand that this particular hand hygiene behavior (Do Not Touch the T Zone) is THE solution for Pandemic prevention and the individual's personal health protection. As your hands are clean only until you touch the next surface. BUT if you NEVER touch your T Zone it doesn't matter how many surfaces you touch.
I have seen MANY patients benefit once they "understood".
There continues to be a lack of understanding of the mucous membranes (eyes, nose and mouth = T Zone)! The ONLY portal of entry into the human body for ALL respiratory infections!
CDC doesn't talk about the T Zone, neither does HHS or local Public Health departments! So how can we expect the public to understand?? Or to improve the result.
Please share this pearl of wisdom and science!!
The T Zone is the mucous membranes of eyes, nose or mouth. The only portal of entry into your body for ALL respiratory infections!
Imagine NEVER being sick again from a respiratory infection, including the flu!
