US11638720B1	Risk mitigation of infectious disease transmission from incidental and intimate contact using atomic scale molecular disruption and biocidal halo-fullerenes delivered via topical, flushing and enteral mechanisms The present invention pertains to quantum-scale biocidal particles and chemical reactions that disrupt and eviscerate microbial matter by combining aqueous and dry components. As halo-fullerene activation requires volatile excitation to mix, contact and collide so as to rupture microbial matter, atomic scale chemical reactions impart the requisite movement of engineered halo-fullerenes to destroy bacterial, fungal and viral matter upon contact. The present invention includes two primary mechanisms: an excitation chemistry and biocidal, hydrophobic halo-fullerenes. Upon aqueous exposure, the dry composition initiates a chemical reaction that activates biocidal halo-fullerenes to disrupt biologic surfaces in topical applications. The object of the present invention is a shelf stable, pre-packaged wiping material or dry packet for rehydration with broad spectrum antimicrobial activity. In one example, a matrix or wipe material would be comprised of densely packed and highly concentrated halo-fullerenes and a chemical reaction stimulant. When activated upon aqueous exposure, it would relax water molecules, alter hydrogen binding, and disrupt adhesion and cohesion forces that characterize surface tensions. These dynamics would then isolate sebaceous substances and free oxygen radicals, along with outgassing of carbon dioxide. The chemical reaction stimulant thus transfers energy and hyperactivates otherwise inert halo-fullerenes to form a biocidal composition. Broader utilities range from topical cleansing for personal hygiene, as well as various clinical and surgical procedures, as surgical and prophylactic lavage and rinse solutions, and enteral formulations as a hypertonic renal flush combined with short-acting diuresis. The halo-fullerene and hypertonic renal flush would cause osmotic cellular outflow, mitigate cellular microbial uptake and initial seroconversion and bloodborne events, while a botanical diuretic agent would facilitate systemic prophylaxis or treatment of UTIs.
