Surprising Findings
Influenza viruses were inactivated faster than any other virus tested, in just 10-15 seconds.
It contradicts expectations that more complex or enveloped viruses might take longer to neutralize, showing flu's high sensitivity.
Practical Takeaways
Consider using nitric oxide nasal sprays during cold/flu season for potential rapid virus reduction.

A substance called NONS quickly kills flu viruses in a lab setting, making them almost completely gone in just a few seconds.
This says that a substance called NONS can quickly kill certain viruses that cause respiratory infections, making them almost completely harmless in lab tests.
A substance called NONS can kill many different types of viruses in lab tests, and it works by using nitric oxide to change the virus's proteins, which stops them from working.
A nose spray with nitric oxide quickly kills over 99.9% of the COVID-19 virus and its variants in lab tests, working in as little as 30 seconds.
NONS is a disinfectant that quickly kills over 99.97% of a tough cold virus in a lab test, while regular alcohol only killed about 37% of the virus.
