This is pretty awesome. It is a spray on.

Does this mean clothes will not smell bad anymore?

I doubt that, but it could reduce the number of accidental infections at hospitals and such, which would be big. Especially in third world countries where sanitary conditions are extremely hard to create & maintain.

I will reserve judgement until we find out wnat chemicals they are rubbing up against your skin 24/7. Because, you know, we can do the same thing with a number of chemicals, but who wants to wear chemicals designed to kill cells?

Since it's not a medical treatment for humans (ie, not medicine or topical compounds) I would how much scrutiny it'll receive for safety.
