US Army Adopts and Deploys Provodine® from Microdermis to Fight Ebola

I'm wondering how many are mistaking this for a cure?

A privately held company came up with it.

The antiseptic skin product, Provodine®, is being applied as a final “molecular barrier” to viral exposure for healthcare workers and emergency responders using traditional layers of protective equipment. To date a total of 335 relief workers have died while fighting to prevent the transmission of Ebola virus infections in West Africa. Skin coverage is an issue. Unlike most branded antiseptic products – which are contra-indicated for eye, mucosal surfaces (nose and mouth), ear and genitals – Provodine® can be safely used on the most sensitive areas of the body.
