Coxiella
Published in Dongyou Liu, Handbook of Foodborne Diseases, 2018
C. burnetii is inactivated by 1% phenol, 5% hydrogen peroxide, 5% chloroform, 0.5% hypochlorite, and exposure to heat at >65°C for 1 hour, 131°C for 15 minutes, 70% ethanol for 20 minutes, or 10 kGy gamma rays. Surfaces can be decontaminated with 2% formaldehyde, 1% Lysol, 5% hydrogen peroxide, 70% ethanol, or 5% chloroform. Spills or contaminated material should be treated with hypochlorite (5000 ppm available chlorine), 5% peroxide, or phenol-based solutions. High-risk materials such as aborted fetuses, placentas, and contaminated bedding should be ideally incinerated, while feces from infected herds should be treated with lime or CaCN before use as fertilizer.
Products used on the vulva

Douching has a long and ancient history, reaching as far back as 1500 BCE, when an Egyptian papyrus recommended a garlic and wine douche for the treatment of menstrual disorders (12). In the days of Hippocrates, vaginal rinsing was thought to be the only method of curing vaginal infections. Different ethnic groups have used douching off and on throughout history, but in America, douching had its heyday beginning in the early 1920s and carried on through the 1950s, when women’s magazines regularly featured advertisements for douche brands such as Lysol® (Lehn and Fink Products Company, Montvale, NJ), Sterizol® (Sterizol Company, Ossining, NY), and Zonite®(Lee Pharmaceuticals, El Mote, CA). As recently as the early 20th century, the medical community recommended douching for the treatment of specific gynecological conditions (12).
An Illustration of Exceptionally Low Maternal Mortality
Published in Arthur Newsholme, International Studies Volume 3, 2015
Not too much is asked from the nurse or the patient. An impossible asepticism is not aimed at, but the utmost cleanliness of hands, mackintosh, etc., is required. Lysol and other antiseptics, which in adequately strong solution will be uncomfortable for the nurse's hands, are eschewed, and mercuric chloride solution is always used after previous soap and water. There is no prohibition of vaginal examinations.
Creating Virtual Reality Based Interventions for Older Adults Impacted by Substance Misuse: Safety and Design Considerations

Additional safety considerations related to shared VR equipment are the possibility of transmitting bacterial or viral conditions such as COVID-19, Staph, or the common cold (Collier et al. 2020; United States Food & Drug Administration, 2020). Although having a unique headset for each individual user of VR based technology is recommended, this is not always feasible due to associated cost. Disposable covers for head mounted displays, particularly ones that have padding, are a good option to ensure comfort and safety when multiple users are using the same VR headset. Both individuals setting up the VR equipment and their users may consider wearing disposable gloves while handing controllers. Additionally, using alcohol wipes and Lysol spray to clean equipment (including cords and other surfaces that may be touched by multiple users) before and after each use is also essential to safe and sanitary use of shared VR equipment (University of Texas at Arlington, n.d.).

I follow a lot of [advice] from them like I now clean the house several times with vinegar and water after [being in] the program. I don’t clean with the Lysol spray, the lady told me Lysol spray is not good. So I pretty much follow that…so things I had learned from them, like making sure I give [my son] a thick wipe down or anything in the summertime so the pollen will not stick on him…[I] wash the clothes, vacuum frequently, and stuff like that. female, age 31
Applying Supra- or Sub-Threshold Plantar Vibrations Increases the Toe Clearance While Stepping over an Obstacle

The plantar vibrations were provided by three C2 vibrotactile (Engineering Acoustics, Casselberry, FL) embedded in customized insoles at two sites to make contact with the ball of the foot and the heel for each leg respectively (Figure 1). This C2 tactor was a linear actuator with a moving magnet design and had a mechanical resonance in the 200-300 Hz range that coincided with peak sensitivity of the body’s Pacinian corpuscle, the most sensitive of the skin’s mechanoreceptors. This C2 tactor’s high force and displacement level allowed the vibration to be easily felt at all locations on the body, even through layers of socks. The supra-threshold frequency-amplitude was 250 Hz, and 17.5db. Plantar vibration in specific amplitude and frequency was suggested to enhance the gait adaptation and gait performance by increasing proprioceptive gain resulting in greater degrees of freedom and more flexibility in gait (Chien et al., 2017; Mukherjee et al., 2015). The sub-threshold frequency-amplitude was 250 Hz and 90% of the magnitude participants could perceive when they stood still normally (Priplata et al., 2003, 2006). The same brand (Champion Cross Trainer) running shoes with different sizes (6-11 for female, 8-12 for males) were provided to participants in this study. The vibration was activated from the first step and was on constantly across each trial and a pulsed firing pattern with an active period duration of 0.3 s and a resting period duration of 0.6 s was used to prevent saturating the sensation of the plantar sensation (Chien et al., 2017). All participants were required to wear their own socks to prevent rubbing of the insoles with vibrotactile on the bare foot. All insoles were one-time use and the tactors were wiped by antibacterial wet wipes before and after each data collection. The Lysol disinfectant spray was applied on the inside of the shoes to prevent the foot hygiene before and after each data collection. Additionally, the light intensity in the laboratory was around 500 lux, measured by light meter (Light Meter Digital Illuminance Meter, URCERI, Amazon, US).
