Two minutes in a microwave oven can sterilize most household sponges, U.S. researchers reported on Monday. A team of engineering researchersat the University of Florida found that two minutes of microwaving on full power killed or inactivated more than 99 percent of bacteria, viruses or parasites, as well as spores, on a kitchen sponge. "People often put their sponges and scrubbers in the dishwasher, but if they really want to decontaminate them and not just clean them, they should use the microwave," said Gabriel Bitton, a professor of environmental engineering who led the study. Writing in the Journal of Environmental Health, Bitton and colleagues said they soaked sponges and scrubbing pads in raw wastewater containing fecal bacteria such as E. coli, viruses, protozoan parasites and bacterial spores. Then they used a common household microwave oven to heat up the sponges. It took four to 10 minutes to kill all the spores but everything else was killed after two, they said. 'The microwave is a very powerful and an inexpensive tool for sterilization," Bitton said.

Thanks Valene Henrie for this information Here's a good suggestion for all of us who fight the disfiguring yellow fungus that gets under our nails, especially toenails. It was sent to us from Crockett Dumas from Escalante. For the yellow "bacteria" that gets under older peoples toe nails and makes them deteriorate cut the toe nails as short as possible and apply a drop or two of iodine under the toe nail morning and night. As days go by work the iodine under the nail with a sharp pick as you remove some of the yellow vbacteria". You will be able to see the iodine eventually soaking through the yellow crap under the nail. In two to three weeks you will start seeing healthy quick growing under your nail. Keep trimming the nail short and Appling iodine until the healthy nail has grown out. Crocket breads horses—Arabians with unusual stamina.
