Scientists have developed a form of water which they claim could kill vast quantities of bacteria, viruses and fungi, including many that are unaffected by bleach.
The water called Dermacyn, developed by California based Oculus, is recommended for external use only and should not be drunk although its makers say they did not find it causing any harm to those who drank it.
"When you spray it on, you see the treated tissue pink up and go beefy, which is good because it means the oxygen supply has resumed," said Dr Cheryl Bongiovanni who used the product on more than 1,000 patients in Oregon.
The liquid is a chemically altered version of salty water, which is full of negatively charged particles.
These are capable of killing dangerous micro-organisms by punching holes in their cell walls.
