Don't they use EO to disinfect all medical equipment though?
The question is whether the application of EO is specific to these COVID test swabs and has only been used in the past year, or if they have always been using it to disinfect swabs and we simply haven't noticed until recently.
They do. This is fear mongering among midwits on the right. It's been used on swab products for a while, I can find clinical research and reports dating to a decade ago regarding buccal swabs.
The occupational exposure limit is 1ppm continuously for 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week, over a lifetime. The question is how much of it is concentrated in these swabs and if you absorb it in that form.
There's a lot of fearmongering on both sides of the fence.. it's horrendous what they'll claim for attention
