Silver Pyjamas fights bug
A PAIR of "miracle pyjamas" could be the
answer to the fight against the superbug MRSA in hospitals.
The makers of the special silver pyjamas claim it is clinically
proven to eliminate 99.99 per cent of more than 800 micro-organisms
- including MRSA - in less than one hour of exposure.The silver,
which can also be used for nurses' uniforms and furnishings, is
undergoing trials in various University Hospitals, in the London
area.
Consultant microbiologist Dr Paul Hillson said:
"Over the next 12 months, tests will be carried out "Silver
is known to be a very active and efficient agent in the fight
against infection. It is also remarkably safe."I can envisage
a transformation in our hospitals to the extent that all patients
will be recommended to wear pyjamas containing silver. It will
be like waving a magic wand in the fight against MRSA."
Leukaemia sufferer Christian Cittron, 20, was cleared
of her MRSA infection within 24 hours of donning a pair of the
pyjamas at the City Hospital, Nottingham.
Christian's mum Janet said: "Within 24
hours of putting on the silver pyjamas, hospital tests concluded
that her MRSA had been completely eradicated."

The condition causes the small blood vessels in
the fingers, toes, ears and nose to constrict when their temperature
drops.

something more than the bitter
