"During the great COVID-19 pandemic, millions of people are being tested to see if they are infected with the virus SARS-CoV-2. The test involves a sample being taken deep into a nasal cavity, using a medical swab. Naturally, a sterile swab must be employed, and these devices are sterilized with ethylene oxide in large batches..The sterile swabs are then shipped to contract warehouses, strategically located around the country.

Ideally, these sterile loads should be aerated for a number of hours, but the pandemic and the attendant and growing desire for testing inevitably means that corners may sometimes be cut. Thus, there is a concern on the part of both the warehouse operators and swab manufacturers regarding the potential exposure of their employees to toxic levels of ethylene oxide." https://www.gasdetection.com/gas-detection-knowledge-base/interesting-applications/covid-19-swabs-ethylene-oxide-and-warehouses/

CDC: "The main disadvantages associated with ETO are the lengthy cycle time, the cost, and its potential hazards to patients and staff... ETO is absorbed by many materials. For this reason, following sterilization the item must undergo aeration to remove residual ETO. Guidelines have been promulgated regarding allowable ETO limits for devices that depend on how the device is used, how often, and how long in order to pose a minimal risk to patients in normal product use." https://www.cdc.gov/infectioncontrol/guidelines/disinfection/sterilization/ethylene-oxide.html

and pedos can fuck adults if they want... what's your point? it says they used ethylene oxide on fucking the product.

stating that EO sterilization is not approved by federal OSHA for use on personal protective equipment and should not be used to sterilize filtering facepiece respirators for reuse because this extremely hazardous toxic chemical poses a severe risk to human health.

"Ethylene Oxide Sterilization Systems must not be used to sterilize masks and respirators. Per the EPA, ethylene oxide is a carcinogen and potentially teratogenic. CDC states “inhalation of ethylene oxide has been linked to neurologic dysfunction and may cause other harmful effects to the wearer.” Prolonged exposure to ethylene oxide can hurt eyes and lungs, harm the brain and nervous system, and potentially cause lymphomas, leukemia, and breast cancer. This extremely hazardous toxic chemical poses a severe risk to human health. EtO sterilizer systems must NOT be used to sterilize masks, respirators, PPE or items worn by humans." -- yet go ahead and & twist it around.

Ignore the fedboi sock puppet. He's just trying to distract you. You posted good info.

To be fair, you're not supposed to snort the test strip. They can also be autoclaved or irradiated. Then don't stick a stick up your nose. Job done!

stupid shill proves himself stupid. What was the point of your comments? Millions of people have tested & many don't know the vaccine is harmful, even less know the test is harmful. Doctors must give informed consent about these risks. I'm providing info, what are you doing?

The name calling starts, and the downvoting begins. Low quality bait is low quality. Oh well...thank you for revealing your hand early in the game.
