Amidst growing fears and the reality of problems associated with MRSA staph infections, Taylor County officials have taken cutting edge steps to protect those in their charge.
"Growing concerns for the safety of our students, teachers, and staff has led me to implement the use of a PURE Bioscience (OTCBB: PURE) Technology found in Germ Control24 Silver Formula, which ironically is produced locally (Clean Control, Warner Robins, Georgia). My research found that this product has a two minute kill time on MRSA and VRE, and also kills Staph, Pseudomonas, Influenza A, Athletes Foot Fungus, Herpes, Salmonella, Rhinovirus, E.coli, Polio type 2, etc. It is also the only product approved by the EPA for a continuous 24 hour kill and protection against Staph, Pseudomonas and Salmonella," says Wayne Smith, Taylor County Schools Superintendent.
Smith is aware of the costs associated with school shutdowns and decontamination, both of which are time consuming and expensive. Health experts have identified the risks that shared facilities such as schools, gymnasiums, athletic fields, jails, etc. pose, and Smith feels that by using this product he has done everything possible to protect his schools.
Jeff Watson, Sheriff, Taylor County, Georgia says, "The Tulsa jail study is proof enough for me." This jail was experiencing 12 to 15 cases of Staph per month and has not had an outbreak in over a year and a half since they incorporated this product into their cleaning and maintenance program.

"I think all sheriffs are concerned about the health and well being of their personnel and their prisoners. While we cannot prevent pathogenic organisms from entering our jails in the course of normal traffic, by the use of this product, we can insure that these pathogenic organisms are not spread under our watch," says Watson.
Eddie Davis, Taylor County attorney states the following, "I have reviewed the information associated with the use of this product in our schools and jail and believe it will be beneficial to prevent the spread and contraction of numerous infectious diseases on state and county property. It may very well curtail any perceived or direct liability on the part of the Board of Education, the Board of Commissioners, and the tax payers of Taylor County."
In laymen's terms, the above mentioned process complexes silver ions with citric acid, a substance that various organisms recognize as a food source. When ingested, the organisms immediately die thus removing the opportunity for mutation, because a dead organism cannot mutate. This product is non-toxic and has the lowest toxicity rating available from the EPA. On a scale of I-IV, with I being the most toxic, Germ Control24 Silver Formula is a Category IV ready to use dilution. While many other products on the market kill various bacteria, no other product has a continuous kill claim. These standard products kill only the germs present at the time of application and do not provide any residual protection against recontamination. This cannot happen with the proper use of Germ Control24 Silver Formula.
