Canadian Company Builds Machine That Tackles Deadly MRSA Bacteria

Windsor, ON (PRWEB) October 22, 2007 -- Ozone Nation Inc. (www.FreshGear.ca), headquarted in Windsor, Ontario, has developed a machine that disinfects and deodorizes bacteria infested sports gear worn in hockey, football and lacrosse. The Fresh Gear C40 forces ozone, with high volume and velocity, straight into the gear, penetrating deep into the dense padding and hard to reach places like gloves and skates. Thus enabling ozone to kill up to 99.99% of the bacteria lurking there.

The patent-pending process takes 20 minutes to sanitize, deodorize and then deplete remaining ozone so that it is safe to open the machine. Thus, protecting the safety of operators, players and the public, while eliminating nasty odors and leaving the gear smelling fresh. Ozonation is a widely used method of eradicating bacteria in drinking water, food preparation, hospitals and health care facilities.

It seems like good timing as North America is faced with a looming epidemic of infections caused by a deadly bacteria known as methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Recent studies published by JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association), have found that infections caused by MRSA appears to be more prevalent than previously believed and is being found more often outside of health care settings, such as in schools, locker rooms and in high contact sports. "We estimate that 94,360 invasive MRSA infections occurred in the United States in 2005; these infections were associated with death in 18,650 cases," says the JAMA article.

"Hockey, football and lacrosse equipment is notorious for being foul smelling. Those odors are a result of bacteria and germs growing inside the equipment. Protective sports gear is meant to keep the athlete safe, not cause them harm. It needs to be sanitized regularly," says Michael Antinozzi, president of Ozone Nation. "Moms everywhere know that 'an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.' The best way to fight MRSA infection is to prevent it."

Mr. Antinozzi foresees demand for the Fresh Gear C40 to continue increasing steadily, as high schools, universities and municipal leagues employ this process as part of a hygiene regimen that includes: washing hands, showering, not sharing personal items such as towels or razors and regularly cleaning their athletic gear.

Fresh Gear is patent pending technology and equipment cleaning services are currently available in over 40 locations across North America. For additional information on where Fresh Gear services are offered and what you can do to prevent MRSA infections, visit www.FreshGear.ca

They have a database with your name, phone number, and street address giving them detail about your previous orders. After they repeat your order to you they try to do what they call ?suggestive selling?, which is asking you if you need any cheese sticks or sodas, all based upon your order history. If all goes well and you get a nice looking hot pizza within the time they quoted you over the phone you are going to order from them again....

Forex Broker - How To Select The Best
Deciding on a forex broker is an important decision- as it is in the stock market. There is a slightly different approach in evaluating a brokerage firm in forex as opposed to the stock market. Forex trades do not require commissions, however they do involve something called ?spreads, which are essentially the price a currency can be bought for a certain period of time, and the price a currency can be sold for at a certain period of time. This spread or difference (commonly referred to as ?pips?) is how the brokerage firm makes their money. You would be correct in assuming that these ?spreads? can vary as widely as commissions do in the stock market.
