Beware of Made in China COVID swabs...
 
This might be of some interest to those getting nasal swabbed for COVID on a regular basis.

"COVID test swabs from China are saturated in Ethylene Oxide (EO), a highly toxic carcinogen"

She pretty much sums it up at 7:05min of this video...

Yeah, i think as long as you’re not bathing in the stuff for eight hours a day, you’ll be ok. Don’t post YouTube videos as a basis for any argument. It’s an automatic disqualifier.

I'm not arguing. I could care less. What people do with information is up to them. I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything, I just found it interesting and figured some may also.

What is the people's obsession here with calling everyone a troll?? I see this repeatedly here. Does that give you some badly needed air of superiority? I've been at Fedex for 20+ years. If posting something that does not meet your approval makes a troll, then so be it. Some people are really odd ducks here. Probably why in 12 years I've only made 76 posts.

Enjoy your sandbox. I'm out...

Seems legit.

She has volunteered in the spiritual and UFO community including David Adair, ECETI Ranch and others."

Given the original thread and the source this is exactly how I imagined the person....

Standard practice to use Ethylene Oxide for medical sterilization. I guess if you don't want your swabs sterile that's your constitutional right. Defend your freedoms.

Also, I enjoy Cassandra S. Dunn wearing the night camouflage American Flag hat with the curved bill. Apparently she is medical Special Forces, more patriotic than the rest of us, and should therefore be assumed not to be a lunatic.

YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram will be pointed to in 50 years as the beginning of the end of intelligent life. The fact that any moron can reach more people than Walter Cronkite could, with no vetting and no recourse is tragic.

Responding to a Freedom of Information request about the safety of ethylene oxide used in nasal swab sterilization, the MHRA stated that contact time for ethylene oxide exposure is divided into the categories limited, prolonged, and permanent duration, while the type of contact is divided into surface contacting and implant. Swabs used for COVID-19 tests fall into the category of “limited contact time” and “surface contacting”.

The MHRA also explained that on average, contact time with a nasal swab for a single test is around 20 seconds. If a person is tested twice a week, this person is exposed to any residual ethylene oxide for around 40 seconds per week. This contact time still falls within the category of “limited contact”, and a person would have to be tested twice weekly for over 40 years in order for the total contact time to fall under the “higher contact” category. The MHRA also stated:

“In the highly unlikely event that a swab does contain a residual amount above the allowable limit, the risk to the user is still considered to be very low. This is because, to be on the safe side, the limits of residue were deliberately set to be much lower than the limit thought to be a risk of causing cancer.”

Beware of everything made in China. I thought this was common knowledge.
