A member asked:
Is there one ingredient in lysol or hand sanitizers that kill flu strain no matter what?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can't say with: complete certainty. Bleach is VERY effective.Hand sanitizer is not effective against Norovirus because it does not have the outer envelop that the alcohol in hand sanitizer would destroy in a flu virus.
