-First sanitizer for the nose helps travelers and those on the go
fight germs on planes, trains, and in other crowded areas-

Coral Gables, Florida (February 14, 2008) – The flu season is in full swing, with wide outbreaks in 11 states, according to a recent news article by the Associated Press. So if fighting off cold and flu germs hasn’t become a priority just yet, it should be. The first sanitizer of its kind on the retail market, NOZIN® Nasal Sanitizer® is a non-prescription, natural anti-microbial solution designed to boost your defenses at the point where germs are most likely to enter your body – the nose. This is good news for travelers (the product is carry-on approved), office workers, students and others who can’t afford to take cold and flu season on the chin, or the nose.

Tests show NOZIN® kills 99.9% of most common disease-causing pathogens and creates a nasal barrier to fight germs for up to 8 hours, providing a new level of defense beyond mere hand sanitizers.

Each year the U.S. population as a whole suffers some one billion cases of cold or flu, or an average of three bouts per person. Several studies have also found that the risk of infection for airline travelers is one in five. Considering there were some 678 million U.S. airline passengers last year, that’s a lot of infection.

Since we are primarily nose breathers and often nose scratchers, the nasal passages are the chief entry points for many of the germs known to cause respiratory disease. The Centers for Disease Control recommends washing hands or using hand sanitizers often and avoiding touching the nose. But even after you clean your hands, new germs can be as close as the next door knob, keyboard or handshake. Then, touching the nose can lead to respiratory infection.

“Studies indicate that hand to nose transmission plays a significant role in how we infect ourselves with pathogens that can then be carried throughout the sinuses and the lungs where they can cause respiratory disease,” explains Dr. Ernst W. Spannhake, professor at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Department of Environmental Health Sciences.

NOZIN fills this gap in defense by helping to shield the nose for hours from airborne or hand-borne germs. What’s more, if you can stop these invaders before they make you sick then you may not have to rely on the over-the-counter cold medicines that only treat symptoms and that the FDA now considers may be risky for children.

NOZIN Nasal Sanitizer, the result of four years of research and development, is a pleasant, citrus-scented solution that is easily applied with a swab to the inside tip of the nose. NOZIN is made from a proprietary formula of pharmaceutical-grade ethyl alcohol, natural ingredients and plant-based compounds.

Dr. Richard Bailey, an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist, comments, “The best defense against harmful germs is to maintain a good hygiene regimen. However, it’s not always possible to wash our hands frequently or avoid touching our nose, and that’s where NOZIN Nasal Sanitizer comes in. It’s an effective, convenient way to fight germs for eight hours, especially for busy travelers, moms and professionals.”

John A. Willimann, Chief Science Officer at Nozin, LLC, comments: “It’s not easy to avoid harmful germs which can be found just about anywhere. But incorporating NOZIN into your daily hygiene routine can help ensure that germs don’t find their way into your respiratory system.”

NOZIN® Nasal Sanitizer® is currently available online at Nozin.com, Flight001.com and SinusAllergySite.com. NOZIN® is also available at Flight 001 stores nationwide, at Navarro Pharmacies and select GNC retail outlets in South Florida, at Moore Drug Stores in Tennessee and at NewsLink stores in Miami International and Boston-Logan airports. NOZIN® Nasal Sanitizer® comes in an 8 ml bottle for 60-plus doses. Suggested retail: $14.95.

So here’s to your healthy defense in 2008 with help from NOZIN Nasal Sanitizer.
