English doctors, desperate to exterminate the pathogenic form of staphylococcus, which lives in some hospitals, invented a new apparatus, the action of which is based on the dispersion of essential oils.

Sprayed into the air, microparticles of essential oils competed effectively with the microbe.

The burn departments, in which the new device was tested, were rid of the microorganism by 90%. The incidence of infections caused by pathogenic staphylococcus also dropped sharply.

The initial purpose of the device was the aromatization of the premises, where patients with various purulent infections were lying. However, after a while the staff found that in addition to deodorizing the room, the apparatus destroyed bacteria.

After some time, the composition of the oil that was sprayed was changed. For nine months of using the unit in the burn department, there were no infections caused by a pathogenic strain of staphylococcus aureus.



In the last two months, the machines were filled not with oils, but with a simple flavor, which caused a sharp rise in the number of microorganisms in the air and an outbreak of infection.

Despite the obvious successes achieved by the developers, the specialists in the treatment and prevention of staphylococcal infections suggested conducting repeated tests of the device with strict control of the sanitary-hygienic regime.
