Also, they need to stop using the UV Lights to clean mats at NCAAs. Those don't do anything and clearly don't keep the mats clean.
Not sure if that was a good sales pitch or if there is really any data to back that up. Of Course, data can be manipulated to back any sales pitch.
Tough for a UV light to take care of sweat, blood, dirt from the people’s shoes pushing the UV machine, etc.
Read his entry on wikipedia and, yes, that was the same disease. They talked about taking Smith's leg but were able to save it.
Our school implemented those UV lights when they were allowed to return post Covid...superintendent claims a lot of good data supporting them.
In certain hog barns they have UV boxes that they put supplies into to "clean" them.
I have no idea how this translates to a wrestling mat and how quickly bacteria lives/dies in that scenario.

Seems odd that just a split second of the light can disinfect the mats. I mean they aren't running with them, but they aren't standing still for any time either.
UV sterilizes. It is extremely effective. However, you must clean first. Clean, then sterilize. That's how it works. With wrestling mats if there are micro tears in the in surface of the mat then the cleaning and the disinfecting agents need to be able to penetrate into the cracks or there will be a pocket of diesease pressure that will re-infect the mat over time.
UV works by destroying DNA. It takes very little time to be effective with enough UV radiation.
One of the biggest things I noticed watching big10 championships and nationals was how gracious Robb was in victory and defeat. It just really stuck out to me at the time like man this guy knows there’s more to life than wrestling. I feel he will have a great comeback story. Godspeed
Jon Jon (Jon Milner) backed out of the NCAA tourney with this, I believe. Plott wrestled at the NCAA, but not sure if he got his there.
The Three Ways Wrestling Saved My Life
I can't thank wrestling enough for giving me the mental strength that it took to just keep looking forward when all signs and symptoms of the infection were pushing me back.
