Up to one million people in the UK catch Norovirus each year. Also known as the winter vomiting bug due to its higher prevalence during the winter months, it has been responsible for numerous outbreaks all over the nation during the past few weeks, spreading fear and panic amongst parents, the old and people with immunodeficiencies.
The virus is spread mainly through direct contact with an infected person via their hands or through contact with infected surfaces, foods and drinks. The most effective ways of preventing spread of the virus is by regular washing of hands and disinfection of surfaces with antiviral products which is not always easy and convenient.

The inhalation of airborne fungal spores is a well known trigger for many allergies including Asthma, Rhinitis and certain forms of dermatitis which can often be put down to eczema.
You may not know it but the average washing machine harbours many different bacteria, viruses and fungi that your washing detergent does not remove. These germs are readily passed on to your clothes spreading infection and potentially exacerbating allergies.
