Monkeypox products we ordered and why: a brief and capitalist (ugh) thread 🧵/

Before I list all this stuff, our source is list Q from the EPA. #MPXV is Tier one so all of these products are from that list.

Problem #1: Laundry

So, as it turns out, regular washing (even with bleach) doesn’t kill #MPXV so, what do?

>Oxiclean Laundry & Home
Contact time required: 10 min

Problem #2: Bathrooms

Public restrooms are gonna be a major place of infection because, simply, toilets aren’t cleaned between uses. Most bathroom cleaners don’t work on MPXV or require hella contact time.

>Lysol Mold & Mildew Foamer with Bleach
Contact time: 30 seconds

Problem #2b: Inside the bowl

The germ spray when flushed is real. So, how do we clean the toilet bowl to ensure #monkeypox is inactivated?

>Lysol Fresh Cling Gel
Contact time: 30 seconds

Problem #3: Surfaces

Regular Lysol wipes will work but they require 10 minutes of contact time and I just can’t imagine how that happens irl.

> Micro-Scientific Opti-Cide Max Disinfecting Wipes
Contact time: 1 minute

Problem 4: Hands

Got no product to share here, just good old disposable latex gloves and hand sanitizer strong enough to kill a pony.

Problem 5: It’s the air, stupid

Just kidding. You’re not stupid. You already know air is our big vulnerability from COVID to MPXV.

>@flo_mask
>eye protection
>don’t share air with strangers

Now, for the fun part. Here’s the supplies we thought we might need in the event we get MPXV anyway. Share your list in the comments and let’s crowd source this!

>Colgate Peroxyl Mouthwash (this is magic for canker sores, can’t hurt to try with #mpxv)

Okay so I think that’s it. Share your finds! If we have made it all this way with COVID we can definitely take on #monkeypox, right? Ok, maybe not, but we’re gonna f*cking try.
