Now, beriberi, cleanliness obsessive-compulsive disorder in patients with the crowd, and the Gospel of the virgo is finally here: there is a kind of plant, its fiber not only has the advantages of soft and comfortable cotton fabrics, and natural antibacterial, anti-ultraviolet radiation, the hygroscopic and quick drying of cotton dust "ability", this magical baby is the legendary marijuana.

When it comes to marijuana, many people will probably be terrified: "Wearing hemp clothes, won't you be poisoned?" In fact, aside from the intoxicating effects of marijuana, there's a lot to be said for eliminating the toxicity. There is a common international standard that cannabis varieties with less than 0.3% of THC in the plant are called industrial cannabis and have completely lost their value as a drug. But for weaving and making clothes, hemp fibers are invaluable. We've been growing marijuana for more than 5,000 years. This seniority rich "veteran" also has another name, is called "the second skin of human body", more people hold it on the altar as "the king of natural fiber". You may not know that even the first Flag of the United States was sewn with industrial hemp.

The secret to hemp fiber's antibacterial properties lies in the good genes it carries in its bones. As a fighter against invading bacteria, what's the big deal about hemp fiber? Unlike the body's immune system, which comes at the expense of the body, hemp fiber often only needs to be defensive in order to work against bacteria and bacteria. The hollow structure of hemp fiber is distributed with dense gaps and small holes, ready to absorb a large amount of oxygen, so that anaerobic bacteria die without a fight; Airtight, damp, and dark environments are often the best places for bacteria to thrive.

The polygonal middle structure and dense vertical cracks on the outer surface act as a shield against moisture. Hemp fibers not only breathe and absorb moisture, but also help the body quickly expel sweat. Some people have taken hemp fiber and cotton fiber to compare, whether it is the rate of moisture absorption or the rate of moisture, hemp fiber is much better than cotton fiber.

In addition to defense, hemp fiber has internal "assassin's mace" - fiber contained in the material can destroy the mold class of microbial life activities "phenolics," to "kill" mold, prevent mildew metabolism and physiological activities, structure destroy bacteria, eventually lead to the growth of microorganisms is inhibited, the success of "encirclement and suppression" mold.

So which fungi are cannabis good at scaring? Can you handle the tens of thousands of invading troops? This, of course, depends on the numbers: researchers have found that hemp fiber is the number one predator of Staphylococcus aureus, which is nearly wiped out by more than 99 percent when exposed to it.

The inhibitory rate of Candida albicans and E. coli also reached 99 percent and 96 percent. Studies have shown that if hemp fiber is added to cotton to form blended yarn, the higher the percentage of hemp fiber added, the better the sterilization effect. In the case of Staphylococcus aureus, a ratio of 55 to 45 cotton to hemp inhibited staphylococcus aureus by up to 99 percent. What if we reduce the percentage of cotton to zero? In short, pure hemp yarn. The results showed that the bacteriostasis rate was far more than 99%. 99%! The number itself is the best propaganda. For those who must often contact all kinds of pathogens, apparel made from hemp or mixed with hemp fiber cloth, to some extent, is also a kind of good disease prevention strategies, to our immune systems to intercept some unnecessary "invaders", like a hospital ward, health care workers wear masks against marauding virus bacteria.

It would be particularly cool for health care workers to wear white coats and masks made of hemp fiber in the near future. Bacteria in our lives may not look as bad as those in hospitals, but there are plenty of bad guys around us.

Can't believe all the germs around you? Someone had put a fingerprint on a petri dish, put it in an incubator, and on that fingerprint grew a million strange colonies of bacteria. Yes, these are the bacteria on and around us. These may include Staphylococcus aureus, which causes folliculitis and impetigo; streptococcus, which causes erysipelas and cellulitis; and trichioneus, which gives you tinea handorum and athlete's foot, trichioneus redness and microspora Canis.

As a result, a number of new hemp clothing fabrics have been developed in recent years to prevent diseases caused by fungal bacteria and to better serve people (but not as a drug, of course). Hemp shoes and socks made of hemp fiber, for example, could be a relief for those suffering from chronic athlete's foot.

Athlete's foot this kind of persistent stubborn "ailment", want to perspired much or encounter inappropriate shoe socks only, it is like the spring bamboo shoots after rain come back with a vengeance, one cannot get rid of. In our opinion, the reason beriberi is so difficult to deal with may be that we have never encountered a material as magical as hemp fiber. After all, the "chemical antibacterial" socks we've seen on the market in the past are nothing compared to the hemp socks study.
