As a Rube Goldberg type prophylactic measure to kill a potential COVID-19 infection in the bud, I have been placing a towel over my head and for 15 minutes have been inhaling steam emanating from a pot of boiling water.

I do that once or twice a day (usually within 3-4 hours after I have contacts with other humans). During the inhalation time I keep my mouth open to allow steam into the mouth at all times and alternate breathing through the nose and mouth.

I believe that the steam may kill the virus because COVD-19 is killed if placed in a 56 degree Centigrade water bath for 30 minutes. Although the exposure time to steam is only 15 minutes, I feel that the temperature of the steam I inhale is well above 56 degrees C.

I cannot guarantee that this will work but I believe that it is worth a try.

I tried to discuss that with the CDC and wrote emails to MSNBC but neither of the two ever sent me a reply.
