Vital Oxide is a Fast and Effective Way to Kill Viruses, Bacteria, and Mold That Cause Healthcare Associated Infections.
Healthcare associated infections (HAIs) are the number four cause of death in the United States, exceeding the combined mortality of breast cancer, AIDS, and traffic accidents. In a 2008 article, the editor of the New England Journal of Medicine estimated that hospital acquired infections add an average of $15,000 to the cost of care which puts a total cost of infections in the U.S. around $40 billion a year. This cost in addition to the suffering caused with more than 2 million infections a year is over 150,000 deaths and millions of extra days spent in the hospital.
