SafeSmart Claims Its Ties are Nearly 100% Resistant to Swine Flu
A company named SafeSmart has developed a line of antimicrobial silk ties. The ties are made of 100 percent nano-treated silk. The company says its ties have a built-in barrier that keeps dirt, liquids and bacteria out. The graphic above shows that water droplets bead up on the ties instead of soaking in. The company says independent studies by BCS Laboratories of Gainesville, Florida, laboratory testing indicated that SafetyTies are 99.95 percent resistant to H1N1 influenza A. The ties are currently being sold for about $24.95 to $29.95. They can be purchased here.
