As we already know, the Mate is the favorite infusion of Argentines, as it connects people, their passions and their interests. However, the presence of Covid-19 forced us to reinforce individual care, especially at this stage of greater opening and more infections.
For this reason, we emphasize certain recommendations to mate in quarantine: from drinking mate individually, sanitizing the bombilla after use, always washing the mate utensils with water and detergent and cleaning the yerba packet when handling it are some of the tips launched by the National Institute of Yerba Mate in the context of the coronavirus health emergency.
1. Clean the yerba pack:
The Institute indicated that the World Health Organization (WHO) suggested cleaning the yerba packet with 70% alcohol (diluted with 30% water) or diluted bleach and, if it is made of a material that cannot get wet, wash it. your hands well before opening the product.
Of course, the hermetic containers where the weed is usually stored must also be sanitized once the package is opened.
2. Sanitize basic utensils after each use.
Both the mate, the bombilla and the thermos can be considered as utensils. Always wash with water and detergent, scrape any solid residues that may exist until they are diluted with the water and rinse with drinking water.
The light bulb, in addition to being sanitized after each use, should be cleaned at least once a month by immersing it in boiling water and two tablespoons of baking soda for 25 minutes.
In addition, he advises using glass-cleaning brushes to remove solid remains inside the thermos and points out that those lined with porous materials make cleaning and disinfection difficult, or may deteriorate in these processes.
3. Frequent hand washing and correct personal hygiene
It is essential that you wash your hands before and after handling the herb. Doing so is extremely easy, and is one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of germs. Clean hands can stop the transmission of germs from person to person and within an entire community; this includes your home, workplace, child care facilities, and hospitals.
The truth is that we must not forget that this infusion helps maintain a strong immune system, even in times of health emergency.
