what's the difference between

sanitize and disinfect...? The instructions on the can of Lysol are different for those two actions. Disinfect seems more intense... Guess that's what I'll be doing.

Here's some answers:
disinfect vs. sanitize 1.
disinfect vs. sanitize 2

Norovirus:

Can live in the environment for 12 days or
You really shouldn't go over to someone's house for 3 weeks from the time the last person gets sick... UGH.

Bleach gets rid of it

Purell (or alcohol based hand sanitizer does NOTHING TO IT--norovirus just laughs at hand sanitizer)

Heat inactivates (what does that mean?)
I just ordered this stuff that can inactivate norovirus. What the heck does inactivate mean? Can they reactivate?


(Yea, I'm supposed to be working, but I can't stop thinking about Norovirus.)
