Ebola out break

[Simon.Pieman]

Surely a garden type spray is not the most effective way of going about decontaminating.

The worst thing would be over egging the pudding and buying expensive crap that doesn't actually do the job better. As Fazfou says the Ebola virus is a seven stone weakling once outside the body, it doesn't even live long enough in a sneeze to be a threat.
Another good example of brilliant cheap prevention is deet, an inexpensive synthetic oil that can prevent you being infused with the biggest killer mankind has ever known -malaria. Some people still prefer to spend on useless electronic mossie repellent machines and the trendy but useless citronella.
Just because it's cheap doesn't mean it doesn't work
