This warning about gyms came from MDVIP, an organization of medical doctors:

"Joining a fitness center is one of the easiest, most convenient ways to get a well-rounded workout. But exercisers sneeze, cough and breath hard (expelling airborne droplets of germs), leaving most gyms and studios teeming with bacteria and viruses," they warn.

"In fact, the average treadmill, exercise bike and free weight can have more than 1 million germs per square inch, according to a recent study. And some of the germs can cause staphylococcus, ringworm and MRSA infections," they point out.

They report flu germs can last 8 hours on gym equipment, cold germs can last 7 days, and Coronavirus germs can last 9 days!

They recommend standard hygiene measures, like disinfectant spray, sanitizer wipes, and handwashing. Those are good, but we know that nothing beats pure copper for convenience and personal protection.

Research shows even Coronavirus germs start to die instantly when pure copper touches them.

Use your CopperZap on your hands and fingers before and after touching things other people have touched. Just rub the handle with your fingers and on your palms for 30 seconds or so.

It leaves a trace of pure copper on your fingers that can stop bad germs as soon as you pick them up. A trace may also transfer to whatever you touch, which may help protect others.

Do the same when shopping, eating out, going to a movie or a game, going to Church, visiting a doctor's or dentist's office or hospital, and any situation where you touch things lots of others also touch.

As always, use your CopperZap in your nose right away after any exposure to airborne droplets from people who may be sick.

A moment of action can prevent many days of illness.

Happy Zapping!
