All surfaces of the non-woven fibre filtering media in NanoShield™ masks, available exclusively from NxtMasks.com, have been enhanced with Silver nanoparticles*, which have been clinically proven to kill pathogens (bacteria, viruses, fungus and molds), yet also scientifically proven to be harmless to humans and multi-celled animals.
The flu is a virus and unlike ordinary masks which allow this virus to live on the surface, the Silver nanoparticles will kill the flu virus in contact with the filtering media, allowing extended use of the masks.
You'll note that this technology is seldom applied to masks because of the extra expense involved that is not necessary if you are simply trying to keep drywall dust out of your respiratory system or some other common, non-virus related use.
NanoShield™ masks excel at keeping you healthy when those around you are catching and spreading normal and deadly pandemic diseases like the Bird flu. The bird flu is coming closer to the shores of the United States and even though the virus still has not mutated for easy human-to-human transmission, many experts believe that a pandemic of Avian influenza, or bird flu, seems inevitable -- the questions are when, where and how bad it will be.
With modern worldwide air travel it could spread worldwide in days and perhaps kills hundreds of millions of people worldwide.
Be prepared for you and your family to stay healthy even though those around you are catching and spreading serious viral, bacterial, fungus and mold diseases. The secret to superior protection is the nano sized suspension of nano silver that have been clinically proven to kill pathogens but it is scientifically proven harmless to humans and multi-celled animals. It has been proven that pathogens do not develop immunity to nanosilver thus it can be effectively used indefinitely. It does not deteriorate in storage and will retain its affectivity for at least 20 years.
By being prepared with these masks you can filter out disease pathogens and even serious allergy causing droplets, particles and mist.
They come in a re-sealable, convenient protective bag. Don’t wait until our complex society malfunctions in a pandemic crisis to protect yourself and family, get the protection and peace of mind of having planned and acted in advance and avoided catastrophic illness when treatment facilities are taxed beyond capacity. In many countries it has been common for people to wear face masks much of the year, and especially during flu season.
NanoShield™ masks also help greatly to stop allergy suffering and to keep from transmitting your disease to others. Sometimes people can avoid being quarantined by wearing a face mask.
Do not depend on your luck -- depend on your intelligence by planning ahead to survive and stay healthy with NanoShield™ masks from NxtMasks.com.
Mexico swine flu outbreak is 'potential pandemic'
World Health Organization warns countries worldwide to check for outbreaks of swine flu that may have killed more than 60 people in Mexico

The head of the World Health Organization said today that the swine flu outbreak in Mexico and the United States, which has killed more than 60 people, could develop into a pandemic.
WHO director-general, Margaret Chan, said the outbreak involved "an animal strain of the H1N1 virus, and it has pandemic potential".
She said it was too early to say whether a pandemic would actually occur.
Mexico City is suspending all public events for 10 days as officials try to contain the outbreak.
The mayor, Marcelo Ebrard, said the city had enough medicine to treat those infected, but the city's focus was on containing the spread of the strain.
The city health secretary, Armando Ahued, said 10 new possible cases of infection had been discovered and officials said some 1,004 people had been infected nationwide. Tests show 20 people have died of the swine flu, and 48 other deaths were probably due to the same strain.
WHO has advised countries around the world to look out for similar outbreaks after the discovery of related strains on both sides of the Mexico-US border. WHO says the strain has also affected at least seven people in the south-western US, although no deaths have been reported there.
WHO today called an emergency meeting of experts to consider declaring an international public health emergency over the outbreak. It is the first time Chan has convened such a crisis panel since the procedure was created almost two years ago, spokesman Gregory Hartl said.
The committee may decide that the outbreak constitutes a public health emergency, and if so, whether WHO should consider measures including travel advisories, trade restrictions and border closures.
Museums, libraries, theatres, schools and universities were shut in Mexico City after the spread of the hitherto unidentified strain of flu.
Around 800 people have the symptoms, WHO said.
Mexico's government said at least 20 were confirmed to have died of the illness, and it may have been responsible for 40 further deaths. Of the seven reported cases of the same virus in the US, five were in southern California and two in Texas. All those patients had recovered.
"This is a new virus," the health minister José Ángel Córdova, said in an interview with MVS radio. "We have taken these measures because this is a virus that has the potential to become a pandemic."
The minister said most of those infected were in the Mexico City metropolitan area, which has a population of 20 million, although three other Mexican states had also been affected to a lesser degree.
He said the authorities were considering extending their precautions to include shutting workplaces as well as schools, but for the moment urged employers to be tolerant of absences.
While he believed the situation was "very worrying", he also thought the epidemic was controllable.
The impact of the preventive measures on city life was felt immediately as the population woke up to news of the epidemic, announced in a late-night statement.
Radio and TV stations repeated official advice to stay away from crowded places "unless urgently necessary", and to seek medical help at the first sign of the very high fevers and acute respiratory symptoms associated with the illness.
At the city's biggest airport, airlines began requiring passengers checking in for national and international flights to fill out forms to help decide who could be at risk of carrying the virus. Anybody deemed to be a risk was reportedly being asked not to fly.
Local media were flooded with questions from city dwellers concerned about everything from whether it was dangerous to eat pork to whether the advice to avoid crowded places meant staying away from the metro.
Many people heading to work in the morning wore blue surgical face masks, and chemists said their supplies of such masks were running out. There were no reports of panic.
The partial shutting down of the metropolis is a dramatic reversal of the government's previous position, which minimized the unusual number of flu deaths, saying it was due to an extension of the usual winter season.
Córdova said the sudden change happened when samples analysed in specialist laboratories in Canada and the US showed the virus causing the deaths was a unique strain.
WHO said it was concerned about the epidemic and had activated its strategic health operations centre. The organization is in daily contact with the US, Canadian and Mexican authorities
