I recently bought copper and placed it
all over my house including the
doorknobs faucet handles refrigerator
handles wherever there's a high degree
of you know touching contact traffic and
why did I buy copper because copper
kills germs it's effective against the
Cova 19 if the virus is sitting on a
piece of copper it's going to die within
4 hours
while if it's sitting on other kinds of
metals or plastics it can last for 3-4
days
copper can kill viruses and other germs
by disrupting the protective layers of
the organisms and interfering with its
vital processes a new study found that
the corona virus is no longer infectious
on copper within 4 hours whereas it can
survive on plastic surfaces for 72 hours
3 days copper has many applications in
hospitals and other places where germs
are likely to spread while you may think
that antiseptic wipes or sprays are
necessary to kill germs there's actually
a metal that kills germs on contact no
cleaning supplies necessary believe it
or not the use of copper for health
purposes dates all the way back to
ancient Egypt and here's what you need
to know copper has antimicrobial
properties meaning it can kill
microorganisms like bacteria and viruses
the microorganism has to come into
contact with copper in order for it to
be killed
what copper does is it disrupts the
bacterial cell membranes copper ions
damage cell membranes or envelopes and
can destroy the DNA or RNA of the
microbe it generates oxidative stress on
bacterial cells and creates hydrogen
peroxide that can kill the cell it also
interferes with proteins that operate
important functions that keep bacterial
cells alive the exact mechanism of how
copper interferes with proteins and
bacterial cells is not fully understood
yet but the current hypothesis is Miss
methylation and what does that mean it
means Miss methylation is the ability of
a metal to basically replace another
metal copper can just
some of the other metals that are
present in some of these other proteins
in bacteria and by doing so it blocks a
function of those proteins yeah so this
is very scientifical stuff and it's kind
of hard to understand but basically
copper can kill the virus it can kill
these other germs mrs a e.coli influenza
norovirus so it's not just a covin virus
it's all kinds of other viruses and
bacteria
so let's open this up this is my copper
tape this is actually a product that
people use gardeners use to protect
their plants because slugs who love to
eat your gardens and plants don't like
copper maybe the same effect that they
have on slugs has the similar effect on
bugs
it's just has a reaction to whatever
they have there okay now it's kind of
stuck here so this is a piece of copper
tape that's about one inch thick and it
goes for 12 yards so that's that's 36
feet okay
so look at this this is the copper
itself it does feel kind of like a soft
metal which I guess copper is a soft
metal and I'm going to put this on my
doorknobs on my faucets and any other
kind of a high contact traffic type area
such as maybe refrigerator doors and we
don't have to constantly clean can be
kind of assured that within four hours
no bugs will be on our copper surfaces
like our doorknobs so I'm gonna go ahead
and wrap up our doorknobs and faucets
and things like that with this
copper tape I mean if science proves
that the virus does not like copper well
you might as well buy your own supply of
copper tape and wrap up your your stuff
with it and I don't know why people
haven't been doing that but at least I
want to get the word out and I'm doing
it myself here okay thanks this is what
I did with it I placed it on our front
door doesn't look that great but it's
pretty shiny and it's a killer for the
bug here's our bathroom faucet and our
toilet flush our thingy
you don't have to place it all over you
just have to put it where people touch
and just could be a small section of it
and that's what he did with a toilet
flush or our front door again but from
the inside just put a small strip
because that's all you need to turn the
door and this is our kitchen sink
so you sit on the end and our fridge
just you know a small section it doesn't
have to be the whole thing people can
just grab the copper part so I'll give
you a link in the description section
below where I bought this the actual
tape I bought because some tapes might
not be real copper it's just colored
copper but it's not actually a real
copper this one is truly copper
