The suit that fights flu


For the more paranoid business traveller among us, a Japanese company has invented a suit that claims to prevent the wearer from contracting swine flu. The firm, Haruyama Trading Co., has made the suit with a cloth impregnated with titanium dioxide, a chemical that kills the H1N1 virus. The suit will be available in four colours and will cost about £365. Quite how the suit will stop us breathing in the virus is unclear. To stop the spread of the disease however, perhaps we can adopt the tactic of the average five-year-old when wearing the suit, and wipe our noses on our sleeves.
