China Wholesale Distributor Bigboxstore.com Announces Release of Surgical Face Masks

Shenzhen, Guangdong (PRWEB) May 23, 2009 -- Bigboxstore.com, a leading wholesale distributor of electronics from China, has just added surgical face masks to its list of products available for immediate dropshipping service around the world. Since the release of this product on May 2nd, 2009, Bigboxstore.com has sold over 10,000 boxes to five countries. A timely release, these masks greatly reduce the amount of germs passed from one person to another.

Beginning in April, 2009, a new influenza began to surface in parts of Mexico and the Unites States. In the past month, cases have popped up in countries around the world, prompting the World Health Organization to coordinate a global response to control the spread of the virus. However, the number of cases continues to grow, totaling over 10,000 cases worldwide as of May 20th, 2009.

The flu virus is spread by contact with other human beings, like a cold. It is not contracted by eating pork, but by interactions with humans carrying the virus. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that concerned citizens avoid close contact with sick people, avoid touching their eyes, nose, and mouth, and cover their nose and mouth with a tissue when they cough or sneeze. While a surgical face mask does not prevent contraction of the flu virus, it can lower the amount of germs shared when interacting with another person.

Now commonly used by employees at airports, shopping malls, and other heavily populated areas, many citizens have also begun wearing face masks in public simply as a precaution. As experts predict that the number of flu infections worldwide will continue to increase, demand for surgical face masks is sure to rise further in the coming months. Bigboxstore.com has responded to this increasing demand, and now offers bulk quantities of surgical face masks (http://www.bigboxstore.com/health-beauty/health-care/masks-and-goggles) that can reduce the spread of germs.
