They only give ivermectin to people with ‘clean’ shoes.

Thank god, imagine if people’s shoe soles had microbes on it and were spread onto the floor! Hopefully they have a crystal pyramid for cleansing hands as well.

I’m expecting it to be like completely copper colored…what am I missing? Does it have copper woven into it?

I’d have concerns if my doctor believed that this was doing anything to help keep the office clean.

Might want to consider asking your doctor about the “disinfecting floor mat” and if they don’t laugh it up consider finding a new doctor..

Copper works against microbes, but not like that… If grubby hands touch a brass doorhandle, the doorhandle will be less grubby the next morning

I wonder if the hall carpet causes static buildup with most people’s shoes, and the copper mat dissipates the charge so people don’t get a shock when touching the door handle?
“Disinfecting doormat” seems ridiculous – if that was a real thing we’d see them in hospitals and most public buildings.

Turn around and find a new doctor immediately.

So apparently quite a few folks don’t believe this works. I’ll be honest idk if it really does either (i.e. if you had a poop stain on your shoe its not like that poop is now disinfected or whatever).
But I was able to look up the mat based on the bottom right tag it has. I don’t want this to seem like an ad so here’s a copy-paste of what is claimed. Do with this what you will

go to a different doctor. maybe a qualified one, even.

Aside from the other comments, if it’s a door mat, why is it placed against a wall in front of a chair? Why is everything placed so oddly?? Why is that chair there??
Lady_Irish on
You sure it ain’t a chiropractor’s or homeopaths office? Because a real doctor would know it takes many hours for coppers antimicrobial properties to work, and a 5 second foot mat would be utterly useless. Not to mention that one is filthy, and more likely to spread even more microbes than prevent any.

Is this like one of those copper wristbands?
