Bentonite Clay: A Potential Natur…rological Disorders.

Findings

This study suggests bentonite clay paste can bind to RNA viruses like SARS-CoV-2 when used on skin, potentially offering antimicrobial protection without the downsides of alcohol-based sanitizers. The researchers propose it could work as a hand cleanser that protects against viruses while actually improving skin condition, though human trial data wasn't included in this abstract.
