      Good that it has already been approved by the FDA... step in the right direction

  • if a serving size of 12 raw oysters were contaminated with approximately 100 hepatitis A and human noroviruses, an e-beam dose of 5 kGy (kilograys) would achieve a 91 percent reduction of hepatitis A infection risks and a 26 percent reduction of norovirus infection risks.

    Although this article does not come from the most scholarly source, my dad and I were talking and he mentioned that if you slice an onion and place it in the corner of the room, it will "absorb" any flu virus present. This is not true.
