SARS-CoV-2 is a positive stranded-RNA human viral pathogen that attacks the central nervous system (CNS), causing interminable diseases. Although alcohol-based hand sanitizers (ABHS) control the widespread transmission of such pathogens through dermal contact, excessive exposure to alcohol mists and vapors causes CNS disorders, apart from skin infections and negative impacts on the useful microbiome. Herein, we propose bentonite paste, which interacts strongly with different +RNA viruses such as SARS-CoV-2/poliovirus, for dermal sanitization. Repeated hand cleansing with bentonite paste not only provides complete protection against any viruses but also improves the skin condition. The proposed method is useful for contact isolation and as a strict infection control tool in hospital settings and in public.

膨润土：一种潜在的天然杀菌剂，可预防神经系统疾病

SARS-CoV-2是一种正链RNA人类病毒病原体，会攻击中枢神经系统（CNS），导致多种疾病。尽管基于酒精的洗手液（ABHS）通过皮肤接触来控制此类病原体的广泛传播，但过度接触酒精气雾和蒸气会导致CNS紊乱，除了皮肤感染和对有用的微生物组的负面影响。本文中，我们提出了膨润土糊剂，它可以与不同的+ RNA病毒（如SARS-CoV-2 /脊髓灰质炎病毒）强烈相互作用，以进行皮肤消毒。反复使用膨润土糊进行手部清洁，不仅可以提供全面保护，抵抗任何病毒，还可以改善皮肤状况。所提出的方法可用于隔离接触，并在医院和公众场合用作严格的感染控制工具。
