Abstract:
1. A method for locally treating pathogen-induced disordered tissue caused by at least one of a virus, a bacteria, or a fungus, comprising: providing a highly penetrating liquid treatment composition that includes at least about 98% by weight of a highly penetrating liquid solvent carrier and up to about 2% by weight of one or more organohalide compounds, the liquid solvent carrier consisting essentially of a tissue penetrating organic solvent that quickly penetrates disordered tissue and leaves no visibly detectable residue and optionally up to about 50% by volume water, the one or more organohalide compounds comprising one or more of n-dialkyl methyl benzyl ammonium halide, n-alkyl dimethyl ethylbenzyl ammonium halide, a quaternary ammonium halide having an ammonium nitrogen and an alkyl radical with six to eighteen carbons bonded to the ammonium nitrogen, or benzalkonium chloride having the following chemical structure: wherein R is an alkyl group having 8-18 carbons; applying the highly penetrating liquid treatment composition to disordered tissue caused by a virus, bacteria or fungus; and causing or allowing the highly penetrating liquid treatment composition to rapidly penetrate into the disordered tissue and below the disordered tissue surface in order for the treatment composition to kill at least one of viruses, bacteria or fungus, the treatment composition being effective in killing at least one of viruses, bacteria or fungus after a single application of the treatment composition to the disordered tissue.
